A 3668 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill (A 3668) allows New Jersey couples to obtain marriage or civil union licenses and have ceremonies solemnized via live video calls, replacing the current requirement for in-person appearances. It directly affects couples seeking marriage/civil unions, licensing officials, and officiants (like religious leaders), requiring live video interaction, valid ID verification, and digital signing of documents transmitted between parties. Key provisions mandate that video conferences must allow real-time interaction, all participants must confirm their New Jersey location, and signed documents must be transmitted securely to officials. The bill modernizes the process by enabling remote compliance with legal requirements for licensing and ceremonies. If enacted, it would update New Jersey law to permit these services via audio-visual technology, as currently required to be done in person.
