NOTE 1. This is the permanent home and principal establishment to which, when absent, the applicant intends to return.
NOTE 2. Both applicants must be a minimum of 18 years of age at the time of application.
NOTE 3. When a remarriage or reaffirmation of civil union license is requested, indicate in Question 6 that the parties are already married or joined in a civil union. It is required that proof of the previous marriage or civil union be submitted to you. Common law marriages, which were legal prior to December 1, 1939, must be established by affidavit showing the place and date of the common law marriage contract. The place and date of the previous marriage or civil union should be stated on both the application and the license. The seventy-two-hour waiting period is waived. Consent of parents is required for the remarriage or reaffirmation of a civil union of a minor previously joined in a marriage or civil union to the same partner in another state.
NOTE 4. Municipality of residence is the municipality where applicant physically resides, not the mailing address. If both applicants are nonresidents of New Jersey, the application must be made in the municipality where the ceremony will be performed. Registrar should mark the license accordingly.
NOTE 5. The Registrar's review of a divorce decree, dissolution of Civil Union, or termination of Domestic Partnership, submitted with this application, in no way implies the validity of the submitted document. Such determination can only be made by a court of law.
