What this form is

The application collects personal, residence, prior-marriage, and other information for both parties, along with their certifications that the information is correct and that they are free to marry. The instructions say to file it with the municipality where at least one party resides, or with the State Registrar; if neither party is a Maine resident, it may be filed in any municipality or with the State Registrar. The form is used to obtain a marriage license.

Who needs it

Both people intending to marry must complete and certify the application before filing it with an eligible Maine municipality or the State Registrar.

Why it needs a notary

Each party signs the certification under oath before the notary; the form’s block says the party personally appeared and swore to the statement’s truth.
