Due to COVID-19 and the Governor's Executive Order, the City of Manchester is working to accommodate outdoor restaurant seating. If you are interested in applying, you need to include a diagram in relation to your building. This diagram should show the proposed area with measurements, along with the number of tables and seats you are planning to have. Please read the 2021 Outdoor Seating Application carefully and submit all documents to licensing@manchesternh.gov.
The Office of the City Clerk will be open for ELECTION BUSINESS ONLY for the State Primary Election on Tuesday, September 8, 2020. We will resume normal activities on Wednesday, September 9th however most requests can be met through our online portal for vital records and dog license renewals.
Couples may now come to City Hall to obtain a marriage license or to get married without a ceremony between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. We are practicing social distancing at this time and can only help a limited amount of people at one time so you may experience longer wait times. Also, if you plan on signing the paperwork in front of the Justice of the Peace to get married, we ask that you refrain from bringing additional guests with you.
Please click here for our marriage license worksheet which can be filled out prior to coming to City Hall to save time.
