The following licenses and permits can be obtained from the Town Clerk's Office.

• DOG LICENSE

All dogs located in the Town of Hague must be registered at the Town Clerk's office. Each dog is assigned a permanent official identification (ID) number and issued a metal ID tag which is to be attached to the dog's collar.

Please bring the following documentation:

1. If the dog is spayed or neutered - a certificate from a licensed veterinarian showing that the dog has been spayed or neutered, unless this proof is already on file with the Town Clerk.

2. ALL dogs three months or older must have proof of a rabies vaccination signed by a licensed veterinarian.

3. Check payable to the Town of Hague for the appropriate license fee - $4.00 if spayed/neutered and $12.00 if not spayed/neutered.

The license will be validated for one year, and renewals will be mailed to the owner.

• MARRIAGE LICENSE

A couple who intends to be married in New York State must apply in person for a marriage license. The application for a license must be signed in the presence of the clerk. A representative cannot apply for the license on behalf of the couple.

When should we get our license? - Although the marriage license is issued immediately, the marriage ceremony may not take place within 24 hours from the exact time that the license was issued. A marriage license is valid for 60 days, beginning the day after it is issued.

How much does the license cost? - The marriage license costs $40 and can be paid by cash or check. This fee includes the issuance of a Certificate of Marriage Registration. Additional Certificates of Marriage can be obtained by this office for $10 a copy.

What do we need to bring? - A Birth Certificate, Baptismal record, or Naturalization record and a Driver's License, Passport, Employment ID, or Immigration record must be provided to obtain a marriage license. Divorce papers or death certificates are also needed if applicable.

• SPORTING LICENSES

• HANDICAP VEHICLE TAG

Handicap tags belong to the person and not the vehicle. Therefore the tag can be moved from vehicle to vehicle. Only one tag can be issued per person. The website which follows is a direct link to the Department of Motor Vehicles' application for a handicap tag. Applications are also available in the Town Clerk's office. The form must be completed by a physician. Bring your driver's license if you have one. nydmv.state.ny.us/forms/mv6641.pdf
