Obtaining a Marriage License

A Vermont marriage license may be issued by any town clerk in the State. The Marriage license costs $80 and certified copies may be sent to you following the ceremony at $10.00 per copy.

The link below is an Application for Vermont License of Civil Marriage from the Vermont Department of Health, which both parties must sign. Once completed the application must be submitted to the Town Clerk in person by either one or both parties subject to the marriage.
