OATH OR AFFIRMATION OF APPLICANTS AND IDENTIFYING WITNESS 
NOTE TO REGISTRAR - Applicants and witness should be told that taking a false oath constitutes perjury, which is punishable by a 
maximum fine of $7,500.00.  In any case where application is made by only one applicant to begin the waiting period, the same 
identifying witness must return when the second applicant completes the application.  In such a case the same witness must sign once 
again on the line below that on which he/she signed when appearing with the first applicant. 
We, who have hereunder signed our names, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that we are not currently ruled mentally incompetent; 
the answers given by us in this application for a marriage, remarriage, civil union, or reaffirmation of civil union license are true, 
full and perfect answers to each and all of said questions.

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.
