Marriage Licenses

A marriage license issued in the Town of Pound Ridge is valid throughout New York State.  The license is good for 60 days, but there is a 24-hour waiting period after obtaining the license before the ceremony can be performed. 

Both parties applying for the license must appear, and each must present an original birth certificate or a certified copy and some form of government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license or passport).  If you have questions about required documents, please contact the Town Clerk's office.

To ensure that someone will be available to help, please consider making an appointment before coming to the Town House to obtain a marriage license.  If possible, please print and complete the marriage license worksheet below beforehand.  Also, be sure to bring payment for the $40 fee.

The town has several marriage officers, and civil marriage ceremonies can be performed on site.
