A letter of intent to marry is a signed statement in which two people confirm that they intend to marry each other, usually naming a timeframe within which they expect the marriage to take place.
The phrase “within 90 days” appears because some processes ask couples to confirm an intention tied to a defined period. What that period requires, who it applies to, and what happens at the end of it are not things this page can tell you.
The document itself is straightforward: it records who the couple are, that the intention is mutual and freely held, and roughly when they expect to marry. Both people sign it.
A letter of intent to marry (within 90 days) is a statement of intention, not a marriage, an application, or a filing. Whatever process prompted the request has its own requirements, and those are what actually govern.
If you are looking for a letter of intent to marry (within 90 days) because of an immigration process, stop here and speak to a licensed immigration attorney or an accredited representative first.
This page provides a general template. It is not an immigration form, not evidence prepared for any agency, and not a substitute for advice from someone qualified to give it.
We deliberately do not explain any of the following, because getting them wrong can have severe and lasting consequences for real people:
An attorney can answer all of that for your actual circumstances. A template cannot, and a page that pretended otherwise would be doing you harm rather than a service.
Important: If cost is the obstacle, non-profit legal aid organisations and accredited representatives assist with immigration matters in many places. Getting the right advice matters more than getting a document quickly.
Couples are asked for a written confirmation of intent in a range of situations. Common ones include:
In every case, ask whoever requested it exactly what they need. Requirements differ enormously, and a general letter is sometimes the wrong document entirely.
Keep it to one page. A short, clear statement signed by both people is what this document is.
Full legal names, dates of birth, and current addresses for each person.
A plain sentence saying that both of you intend to marry each other.
The date or period within which you expect the marriage to take place.
The city, region, or country, if you know it.
A statement that both of you enter into this intention freely and that neither is under pressure.
A case number, booking reference, or file number, only if you were told to include one.
Each person signs and dates it personally.
Include it only where the recipient has specifically asked. Requirements vary, so confirm rather than assume.
This document says something about two people’s genuine intentions, which makes accuracy more important than presentation.
The intention must be real and shared. A letter recording an intention that does not exist is a false statement, and depending on the context it can carry serious consequences for both people.
Each person signs for themselves. Nobody should sign a declaration of their own intentions that someone else has drafted and put in front of them, and nobody should sign under pressure from a partner, a relative, or anyone else.
Read it before signing. If any sentence does not reflect what you actually intend, change it or do not sign.
Tip: If you feel pressured to sign, or if someone else is controlling this process, that is worth raising with a professional independently of your partner. Support services exist in most places, and a solicitor or advice organisation can speak with you confidentially.

The limits of a letter of intent to marry (within 90 days) are worth stating plainly, because this document is often expected to carry more weight than it can.
It does not marry anyone. A marriage requires whatever process applies where you are, and this letter is not part of it.
It does not prove a relationship. It records what two people say they intend, which is not the same as evidence about a relationship’s nature or history.
It does not satisfy any legal or procedural requirement by itself. If a process requires something specific, only that process can tell you what, and only a qualified professional can advise you on it.
It does not create an obligation to marry. Either person may change their mind, and this document does not alter that.
Nothing on this page is legal or immigration advice, and no marriage requirement, licence rule, notice period, timeframe, or officiant rule is stated anywhere on it. For anything that depends on a legal process, take advice from a professional qualified where you are.
