Requirements for obtaining a marriage license
- If a person is 18 years or older and a U.S. citizen, only a valid driver’s license is required for identification.
- If a person is a non-U.S. citizen, a passport and a valid VISA are both required for identification.
- If a person is between the ages of 16 and 18, both parents are required to come in to sign permission.
