City Clerk

Issues marriage licenses, performs civil wedding ceremonies, registers domestic partnerships, and handles various official city filings. It also qualifies commissioners of deeds, registers lobbyists, and files oaths of office for city officials. If you want to get married in NYC without a religious ceremony, this is where you go. The Manhattan Marriage Bureau is the single busiest wedding venue in the United States. Beyond weddings, the office handles the official paperwork that makes many civic processes legal.
