§ 11-d. One-day marriage officiant license. 1. A town or city clerk
shall issue a one-day marriage officiant license upon request. Such
one-day marriage officiant shall have the authority to solemnize a
marriage which marriage shall be valid if performed in accordance with

authority of other persons authorized to solemnize marriages.

authority to solemnize a marriage anywhere in the state.

3. An applicant for a one-day marriage officiant license must apply
for such license in the same town or city clerk's office as the couple
to be married. Such applicant shall not be required to personally
appear.

4. A town or city clerk shall be entitled to a fee of twenty-five
dollars for issuing a one-day marriage officiant license. Such license
shall be issued only after payment of such fee and submission of a
completed application form.

5. The application form shall require the following information of the
applicant: name, date of birth, address, email address and telephone
number. The application form shall also require the following
information of the parties to be married: names, dates of birth, and
addresses as they appear on the application for a marriage license.

6. Such license shall only be valid for the parties to be married as
stated on the application and shall expire upon the earlier of either
completion of such solemnization or the expiration of the marriage
license.

7. One-day marriage officiants shall be exempt from registration as
required pursuant to section eleven-b of this article.
