Who will sign the marriage license for heterosexual couples I marry?
Under Massachusetts law, couples can have their license signed by any justice of the peace for $75. This procedure typically takes only a few minutes. A local justice of the peace is easy to find through the town clerk, the yellow pages, or the internet. Alternatively, for $25 any adult (without a criminal record and with a character reference) can be granted a “one-day marriage designation” legally to solemnize a marriage.
