What this form is
The notice collects personal, residence, birth, and prior-marriage information from both intended spouses, along with statements that there is no legal impediment to the marriage. The form says the information must be completed before a Massachusetts marriage license is issued and that the license is valid for 60 days from the filing date. The clerk, registrar, or designated assistant clerk administers the oath.
Who needs it

Why it needs a notary
The form has a subscribed-and-sworn oath block, but it names a registrar, clerk, or designated assistant clerk to administer the oath—not a notary.
