Need Your Certified
Marriage Certificate
Right Away?

For many couples, waiting weeks for a Certified Marriage Certificate is not an option. Certain situations require legal proof of marriage immediately.

I offer same-day Certified Marriage Certificate support for New Jersey elopements by ensuring the marriage paperwork is handled accurately and processed without delay.

This service is especially helpful for couples navigating immigration timelines, benefits enrollment, travel requirements, or legal documentation.

Marriage License vs Certified Marriage Certificates

These two documents are often confused, but they serve very different purposes.

  • Marriage License

Issued before the marriage and authorizes the marriage to take place.

  • Certified Marriage Certificate

Issued after the marriage and serves as the official legal proof that the marriage occurred.

This service focuses on the timely issuance of the Certified Marriage Certificate, not just the completion of the marriage itself.

How Same-Day Certificate Support Works

Same-day Certified Marriage Certificate support is available on weekdays during municipal business hours.

Once a couple lets me know they need their Certified Marriage Certificate urgently, I coordinate the appointment and manage the timing directly with the municipal registrar. Couples do not need to schedule or coordinate this step themselves.

I ensure the marriage license is completed correctly and submitted promptly so the Certified Marriage Certificate can be issued the same day.

I also advise couples on how many certified copies to request. I typically recommend two certified copies, though some couples choose additional copies depending on immigration or legal needs.

This service is commonly used for immigration filings, health insurance enrollment, benefits verification, travel, and other situations that require immediate legal proof of marriage.

Witness Requirements

In New Jersey:

  • One witness is required when applying for the marriage license

  • Two witnesses are required on the day the marriage is completed

If you do not have witnesses available, I can provide witness coordination for an additional fee.

Please indicate this need when booking so arrangements can be made in advance.
