  • Get Married

    To learn about general Maine marriage license requirements, statutes, & laws, visit the State of Maine’s Marriage Licensing Info page.

    One of your requirements is to submit an Intention of Marriage. This is a legal document, and you are responsible and liable for providing the information and documentation as required. Here are the instructions:

    • Complete the State of Maine Intention of Marriage form and have both signatures notarized, or sign the documents before one of the clerks in the Town Office. Proof of identity may be required.
    • If either party is divorced, widowed, or has had their previous marriage legally annulled, you must provide the certified document verifying how the previous. marriage ended. ‘Certified’ means that the document is affixed with a raised seal and/or contains original signatures.
    • File your Intention of Marriage in the Town Clerk’s office of a Maine municipality in which at least one of you resides (so as long as one future spouse resides in Bridgton, you can come see us!). The filing fee is $40. If both of you live out of state, you may file your Intention of Marriage in any Maine municipal office, including ours.
    • Once your Intention of Marriage has been filed and your license has been issued, you may marry anywhere within the State of Maine. Your marriage license will expire 90 days from the filing date of your Intention of Marriage.
    • Both parties must sign their license in front of the Town Clerk before it can be issued. Proof of identity may be required.
    • Your officiant is required to file the marriage license within seven (7) days. A certified copy (legal document) of the marriage certificate can be obtained from the issuing Town Office after the license has been filed. The fee is $15.00 for the first copy and $6.00 for each additional copy purchased at the same time.
