Are you looking for a Maine Justice of the Peace to perform your wedding ceremony? What you’ll find is that there are none in Maine.* But don’t worry, read on to find someone who can officiate your wedding.
No Justice of the Peace in Maine
In the late 1980’s the duties of the Maine Justice of the Peace were given to the Notary Public. One of those duties included performing wedding ceremonies. It’s an incredible honor and only three states in the United States allow Notaries Public to perform ceremonies. We’re very lucky that Maine is one of them. So, even though there are no Justices of the Peace in Maine, there are many wonderful professional Maine wedding officiants.
Just a note: Out of state Justices of the Peace are not authorized to perform wedding ceremonies in Maine.
