Package #2
Marriage License!
Your Marriage License is the document required to get married. It’s your responsibility to obtain your Marriage License.
If you’re getting married in New Jersey, you’ll need to book your Officiant prior to applying for your Marriage License. That's where I come in! As your Officiant, I'm here to make the Marriage License process as easy as possible.
You can count on me to be straightforward and professional throughout the process so that you'll have one less worry in the days leading up to your elopement.
Certified Marriage Certificate (Same Day!)
Your Certified Marriage Certificate (different from your marriage license) is a very important document – it’s the document that proves that you’re married.
For couples getting married in New Jersey, this package conveniently includes getting your Certified Marriage Certificate on the same day! This is convenient for couples looking to get married in a rush or looking to get this process wrapped up in a timely manner.
Witnesses, Name Changes, Etc.
Witnesses
Planning your elopement in New Jersey? There are a few things to keep in mind – you’ll need to: (1) apply for your marriage license together in person, (2) you’ll need a witness present with you when you apply, and (3) on elopement day you’ll need two witnesses to sign and witness your marriage. Witnesses must be over age 18 and must have valid identification on elopement day.
NOTE: Your witnesses are an important part of this process and while I’m happy to provide everything you need to make this process seamless, providing witnesses is not included in my services and by law I cannot serve as one of your witnesses.
Changing Your Last Name
If you’d like to change your last name after your elopement, click here and here to learn more.
When you change your last name, be sure to update your important documents such as driver’s license, passport, social security card, etc.
Social Security Administration (Name Change)
You can visit the Social Security Administration for their Name Change Guide.
You’ll need the original copy of your Certified Marriage Certificate to change your name with any government institution.
