What this form is
The form gathers each party’s personal and residence information, prior-marriage details, and declarations that the information is true and no legal impediment exists to marrying. It also includes sections for the clerk and officiant to complete, including details about the ceremony. The form text directs the officiant to return the license to the issuing clerk; it does not state additional Ledyard-specific filing requirements.
Who needs it
Both parties named on the marriage license complete their information and declarations, and the officiant completes the ceremony information and returns the license to the issuing clerk.
Why it needs a notary
This form has a subscribed-and-sworn-to/affirmed block before the Town or City Clerk; the parties sign their declarations before that clerk, not a notary.

Frequently asked questions
- Who signs the marriage affidavit?
- Both parties named on the form sign the declarations stating that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information is true and no legal impediment exists to their marriage.
- Do I need a notary for this form?
- The form directs the parties to subscribe and swear or affirm before a Town or City Clerk. It does not identify a notary as the required official, so an online notarization should not replace the clerk’s oath.
- How do I complete the ceremony section?
- The officiant completes the solemnization details, including the time, date, place, and officiant information, and signs the certificate. The form directs the officiant to return the license to the issuing clerk.
- Can a commissioned online notary administer the oath instead?
- New York authorizes remote online notarization by a commissioned online notary, but this form specifies an oath or affirmation before the Town or City Clerk. Confirm with the city, town or village if unsure.
