Marriage Ceremony Requirements in Maine
Maine allows couples to choose either a traditional wedding officiant or qualified notaries and legal professionals who reside in the state. Permitted officiants include ordained ministers, a person licensed to preach by an association of ministers, religious seminary, or ecclesiastical body, judges or justices who are Maine residents, lawyers admitted to the Maine Bar who are Maine residents, and Maine notaries.
You'll need to acquire a marriage license before the ceremony. If you or your partner are residents of Maine, apply for the license in the city or town that one of you lives in. If you're both from out of state, you can apply in any city in Maine. Once it's issued, you have 90 days to say your vows before the marriage license expires.
There should be two witnesses present during the ceremony when you take your vows. The wedding officiant can't be a witness. Once the ceremony is over, the two witnesses and your Maine wedding officiant will sign the marriage license. When signing, everyone must write their signature in black ink.
Wedding Officiant Services for Maine Ceremonies
Notaries can perform wedding ceremonies in Maine even if they don't hold a religious or legal role. That means you don't have to find an ordained minister or a judge to solemnize your vows. In fact, a notary public can be one of the most hassle-free options for Maine weddings.
In addition to officiating wedding ceremonies, a notary will verify that couples have their licenses in order. They can also witness signatures, ensure participants are willing to say their vows, and file the marriage license with the town office that issued it. Your Maine notary can also notarize any paperwork required for name changes, certified copies of the marriage certificates, and life documents you need to validate.
Our notaries travel to you wherever you are in the state. Whether you're getting married at a picturesque wedding venue or hosting a simple backyard ceremony, our mobile wedding officiant can accommodate your needs. You can also schedule a last-minute ceremony; we have notaries available on short notice.
Notarial fees for wedding officiants in Maine: the cost depends on how far your marriage officiant needs to travel. You can expect to pay $140 for the ceremony, along with reasonable travel fees. This does not include the rehearsal, as those costs are separate.
