Applying for marriage license

in New York-Long Island
When applying for your marriage license, does it matter which town hall you go to? Do you have to apply in the town that you're living in or the town that you're getting married in? A friend of mine who is planning a last minute wedding in early November asked me this question. I told her I was unsure, but would get back to her. It's something I never thought about until she asked me.

    You can apply in any county and get married in any county. The only exception is New York City the boroughs have their own rules and requirements.
