Licenses are issued by Vermont town clerks. If both parties are Vermont residents, you may go to the city clerk in either of your towns of residence. If just one of you resides in a Vermont town, you must buy the license in that town. The license costs $80, and is valid for 60 days from the date it is issued. During that time period, an authorized person must perform your wedding ceremony — otherwise, the license is void.

4. Once we receive your application, we will then create the official marriage license. We ask for at least 24 hours to produce the marriage license prior to being picked up by one of the applicants before the ceremony. One of the applicants must come to the Town Office, sign and receive the license. By law, you must deliver the license to the person who will conduct your wedding ceremony before the marriage can be performed.
5. After the ceremony, the person who performs the ceremony (officiant) will complete the sections concerning the date, place and officiant information, and sign your license. At that point, the license becomes a marriage certificate. The officiant must return the certificate to the city clerk’s office where it was issued within 10 days after the wedding in order for your marriage to officially be registered. We will create a certified copy and mail it to you.
