Applying for a Marriage License

How to Apply for a Marriage License in Acton

Both parties must apply together, either in person or online, with the Acton Town Clerk to file your marriage intentions. This applies to both residents and non-residents of Massachusetts.

You may file your intentions to marry with the Acton Town Clerk, regardless of where in Massachusetts the ceremony will take place.

The Town of Acton offers the option to begin the marriage intention process online. However, both parties must still appear in person at the Town Clerk’s Office to sign the paperwork and complete the application.

Once filed, the marriage license is valid for 60 days and may be used in any Massachusetts city or town.

The license is not valid outside of Massachusetts.

For more information or to begin the process online, please visit the Acton Town Clerk’s website or contact the office directly at (978) 929-6620.
