New Jersey does not issue marriage licenses at the county level. The application is filed with the municipal local registrar, there is a 72 hour wait before the license is issued, and the license is then valid throughout New Jersey. A witness 18 years of age or older must be present when the application is made. Newark Vital Statistics is open Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, and its page covers copies of records rather than the license application. Verona and West Orange each have their own township registrar.
