To apply for a marriage license, both parties must appear in person together at the City/Town Clerk’s Office. Each must be at least 18 years of age. If under the age of 18, you must obtain a court order from a probate or district court.
There is a mandatory 3-day waiting period from the date "the Intention" is filed. This date can only be waived with a court order. The Intention is valid for 60 days from the date you file (not from when you pick up your marriage license). Your license can be used to marry in any city or town within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Keep in mind, no officiant in Massachusetts can solemnize your wedding without a valid marriage license. It is your responsibility to apply for and obtain your marriage license prior to the ceremony. Be sure to bring proper identification with you when you file your "Marriage Intentions".
Massachusetts no longer requires a blood test.
There is no requirement in Massachusetts to have witnesses present for your marriage to be valid or legal. The Officiant's signature on the license is sufficient.
