Where do I apply for a license if I live in Hamilton but am getting married in a different municipality/state?

If the applicants live in Hamilton, they must apply for the license in Hamilton and the license is valid anywhere in NJ.

If one applicant lives in Hamilton and one lives in another municipality in NJ, they can apply through either municipality and the license is valid anywhere in NJ.

If the applicant is a Hamilton resident and getting married in a different state, then they have to contact the state where the wedding is taking place for the marriage license.

The license stays on file in the municipality where the event took place.
