Re: marriage license question
Edited; Here is what I got from the TOB website.
The Town Clerk is responsible for issuing a New York State Marriage License to qualified applicants as well as recording the marriage with the New York State Department of Health. The marriage record is on file in this office and in Albany.
Licenses to marry in New York State may be obtained from the Town Clerk’s Office (Town Hall East, 54 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, New York 11771 or Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa, New York 11758) regardless of the residence of either of the parties. Once the license is issued, the ceremony may be performed anywhere in the state. A marriage license is good for sixty (60) days, beginning twenty-four hours (24) after the license is issued. The requirements for the issuance of marriage licenses in the Town of Oyster Bay are mandated by the provisions of the New York State Domestic Relations Laws.
The marriage section of the Oyster Bay Town Clerk’s Office is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Applicants should arrive prior to 4:15 p.m. Both applicants must appear in person. Two forms of ID are required - one of the following age-related documents: birth certificate, baptismal record, naturalization record or census record AND one of the following identity-related documents: driver's lecense, passport, employment picture ID or immigration record. Applicants whose previous marriage(s) ended in divorce, annulment or death of spouse, must provide proof of dissolution of all previous marriage(s) by presenting a certified copy of Divorce or Civil Annulment or certified copy of Death Certificate for each previous marriage.
A fee of $40.00 is required and includes the cost of the marriage certificate. A blood test is not required. Payment may be made in cash, check or money order made payable to 'Steven L. Labriola, Town Clerk'.
