Age Requirements
Applicants (18) years of age or over do not require parental
consent to marry in Connecticut.
Under 18 Years of Age
Written consent of the parent or guardian is required.
Under 16 Years of Age
The Judge of Probate Court must endorse with written consent
on the license.
Exact Name
Full legal name is required. No abbreviations,
nicknames or initials. The information for the marriage
license should appear as it does on your birth certificate,
unless your name has been legally changed (i.e.
previous marriage, court order name change).
Proof of Residency
If you are applying for the license in the town of
residency, bring a government issued ID showing current
residence. This can be a driver's license, state issued ID
card or lease agreement. This is especially important if
you are applying for the license in a town different than
the where the ceremony is being held.

in which the marriage ceremony will be held. |
