Maine LD83 updates marriage license filing and recording procedures, requiring electronic filing and aligning practices.
Maine LD83 updates the process for filing and recording marriage licenses and intentions. It mandates electronic filing of completed marriage licenses and intentions in the State Registrar of Vital Statistics' system. The bill requires both parties to sign the license at issuance or during the ceremony, with signatures accepted up to working days after the marriage. It also specifies that marriage licenses must be returned to the State Registrar or the issuing clerk within working days. If a license is returned late, the marriage is marked as a delayed filing.
