Once the application has been taken, there is a 72-hour waiting period. Once the license has been issued, it is valid for 30 days.
The fee for the marriage license / civil union is $28, which is due at the time of the application, cash or check only. (Checks made out to the City of Millville).

The officiant who performs the ceremony files the certificate with the registrar of the municipality where the ceremony was performed.

A license may never be used outside of New Jersey, and a license issued in another state may never be used in New Jersey.
