I was wondering if there are any brides on here who are RI residents who got married in another state. I live in RI but more then likely will be marrying in Massachusetts. I know I need to get a license to wed in Mass but will I still need to get one in RI too? Thanks in advance.

I am not sure. You should google RI marriage License it came up with all the req's that you need if you are getting married in RI and I think it also talks about out of state req's too.

I live in RI and got married in MA...we had to get a marriage license in the CITY/TOWN of MASSACHUSETTS that we were getting married in...I was able to simply search online for the City/Town Hall that we needed, went in, applied for the license, and went back about a week later to pick up the information to send to our officiant...she finished the form and sent it back to the City/Town Hall and we were able to pick up our official license a couple weeks later...hope this helps :)

P.S...you do NOT need to get another one for RI...just a license for where you will be getting married :)
