To obtain a certified copy of a marriage certificate, you must submit your request to the vital records office of the town where the marriage occurred, or the town(s) where the parties to the marriage resided at the time of the marriage, or the State Vital Records Office. After the document is filed, it is referred to as a marriage certificate. Once you are married, the marriage license is filed at the vital records office of the town where the marriage occurred. Payment must be submitted to the town at the time the marriage license is issued (see License to Get Married ). There is a $50.00 fee for each marriage license. If you are planning to marry in Connecticut, you must obtain a marriage license from the vital records office of the town where the marriage will take place.
