How Old Must We Be?   You must be 18 or older to obtain a marriage license.  Females must be at least 12 and males at least 14 with parental consent or a court order is necessary for those under age. Massachusetts law requires that both Bride and Groom apply together for the marriage license. This is called filing your intentions and takes place in the city or town clerk's office.


What About Medical Exam?  The Commonwealth abolished this medical exam for venereal disease effective in 2005.  Therefore, it is no longer a requirement to obtain a marriage license in Massachusetts.  If you have in further question regarding this matter, you may contact the: Bureau of Communicable Disease Control Department of Public Health, 3O5 South Street, Boston, MA O2130, 617-983-6940.


Is There Any Waiting Time?   There’s a three-day waiting period from the day you file your marriage intentions to the day you may pick up your marriage license. Many couples do their blood tests and file their intentions on the same day. They then return with their completed medical certificates three days later to collect their marriage license. Your marriage license is valid anywhere in Massachusetts for sixty days from the date you first filed.

Can We Obtain a Waiver of the Waiting Period? if both parties are residents, or non-residents, or one of each, and you need to do away with the three days waiting period, you may do so by applying to the judge of a probate or district court to have the license issued without delay, after filing intentions with the clerk. Under unusual or emergency circumstances, such as of the death of either party is near or if the female is nearing the end of her pregnancy. A request by a minister or clergy person or a doctor would be sufficient, which enable the clerk may issue the certificate without further tardiness.  To obtain such waiver, you should both file your intentions first with any city or town clerk. Then the application for a waiver would be filed by both of you at a probate or district court. Usually following a hearing, the judge can issue a certificate allowing the marriage license to be issued without the waiting period, and thus, the wedding solemnized without delay.
