What this form is
Applicants use this New Jersey Department of Health form to provide identifying details, answer questions about their domestic status, and state where and when they intend to hold the ceremony. An identifying witness also completes a declaration, and the applicants and witness take an oath or affirmation before the registrar. The form directs the registrar to retain the completed application as a permanent record.
Who needs it
Two people applying for a marriage, remarriage, civil union, or reaffirmation of civil union license, plus their identifying witness, complete this application.
Why it needs a notary
The form’s oath block says it is sworn or affirmed and subscribed before the registrar; applicants and the identifying witness sign, not before a notary.
