how old do you have to be to get a marriage license?

Answer 1

Without parental premission you have to be 18 in most states, a few allow 17 and even 16. With parental premission you can be pretty young, I think as young as 14 in states like Utah.

Answer 2

It depends on where you live, though it's usually the age of the consent, which is 18 years old. If you are 16 or 17, you will need to have your parents sign and affidavit to allow you to marry, and they must be present when you and your fiance get your marriage license. I've supplied you with a link so you can look up the proper info for your state. I hope this helps

Answer 3

Just make a phone call to the Clerk of Courts at your local court house. They will refer you to the Marriage License office for the correct answer.

Answer 4

It really depends on what state you are getting married.

Answer 5

it depends on the state but in general you could get a license when you reach 18

Answer 6

Eighteen, unless you have a parent's permission. And then sometimes you have to appear before a judge for permission.....unless you're pregnant. That tends to speed things up a bit.

18- some states will sell to a younger person if parents give permission.

Answer 8

I think 18 but if you're under 18 you have to get you're parents permission first.

Answer 9

You have to be at least 18, unless otherwise have permission by your parent or guardians

Answer 10

in most states, 18. unless your parents sign giving you permission
