Bill > S990

This bill aims to update the proof of age documentation required to obtain a marriage certificate in the state of Massachusetts. The bill specifies a hierarchy of acceptable documents, with a U.S. passport being the highest form of proof, followed by various state-issued identification cards, birth records, and other legal documents. The bill also requires the clerk or registrar to verify that both parties are at least 18 years of age before issuing a marriage certificate, and prohibits them from accepting lower-grade evidence unless higher-grade proof is not readily available.
