Bill > SB1342

This bill modifies the provisions relating to the age of marriage in Missouri. The key changes are: 1. The bill repeals the previous sections on marriage age and enacts new sections to replace them. 2. The bill removes the requirement that individuals under 18 years of age must have the consent of a custodial parent or guardian to get married. 3. The bill raises the minimum age for marriage from 16 to 18 years old, removing the ability to get married before that age. 4. The bill also adds provisions to allow incarcerated or military applicants to apply for a marriage license remotely, as long as they provide certain documentation. 5. The bill requires recorders of deeds to have a two-step identity verification process for applicants who apply for a marriage license online, to ensure the identities of both applicants are verified.
