Permits a marriage or civil union license to be issued and solemnized via audio-visual technology.

This bill permits New Jersey couples to obtain marriage or civil union licenses and hold their ceremonies via live video conferencing instead of requiring in-person meetings. To comply, participants must maintain live interaction during the video session, present valid photo ID, and digitally sign documents that are transmitted sequentially to all required signatories. The law updates existing statutes (R.S. 37:1-8 and R.S. 37:1-17) to allow remote processing while requiring verification of identity and statutory compliance. It applies to all couples seeking marriage licenses or civil unions through New Jersey’s official licensing system.
