How soon before my wedding should I obtain a marriage license? Do we need a blood test? Are there any other requirements?

  • New Hampshire (NH) does not require a blood test.
  • A NH issued marriage license is only valid in NH and only valid for 90 days. 
  • After completing the application, you will walk out with the Marriage License. There is no waiting period. 
  • Although not required, we highly recommend making an appointment.  The process takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.  
  • We require a government issued I.D. (i.e. Driver’s License) and both parties must be present.  
  • Although not required, we also STRONGLY RECOMMEND bringing your birth certificates. 
  • If this isn't your first marriage, you must provide a final or absolute divorce decree or annulment, or certified death certificate. 
  • The cost for the license is $50 cash, credit or check.
