Marriage License Question

jasmineh7777

Did you need your birth certificates to get your license? My state says birth certificate or other proof of age is required- which I think is kind of vague. I will have to call, but FI doesn't have his birth certificate. I don't think his mom has it either, so we will have to track one down if we need it.
Last question for the night, and I will stop being a pw.

we did.. If you do not have one you can request one from the state for a small fee.

If your FI has a passport than that might be used as proof and you need a BC to get a passport..

He was born in another state, so if we need it we will have to start trying to find it now. Do you know if you need to know the hospital or anything like that?

Wouldn't proof of age be  on his drivers licence? I needed my BC to get that.

jasmineh7777

That might work. His mom should have his, but we aren't in contact with her at this point.

My county needed a birth certificate, even a passport wouldn't count.  Which strikes me as odd since you need a birth cert in order to get a passport.

I can't think of the website right now.. but if you google the state and BC it will take you to the correct location and tell you how to obtain the license online.. it's not that difficult.

Well shiit. Looks like I'll be calling the clerk and recorder in seattle tomorrow.

P.S. Why can't I type shiit?

lyndausvi

I had to order one for myself for another reason.. it's actually surprisingly easy.

My internet sleuthing skills are limited, but I should be able to figure it out.

I'm KUI, so I understand.... Actually with all the identity theft.. I'm surprised how easy it is to get a BC online..

jasmineh7777

Yeah it is slightly terrifying.

I think I just brought in my driver's license and social security card. I was terrified and amazed at how easy it was to get a marriage license.

jasmineh7777

I am annoyed that I have to fill out extra paperwork to forego the blood test. Do they really need to assume I want babies? No thank you state of MT.

lyndausvi

I'm glad we did not have to do the blood test.. I think DH would have freaked out.. He HATES needles. or really the  cotton needed to clean the area, regardless it would not have been pretty if we had to do the blood test. 

Im surprised some states still do them.

katiewhompus

I'm so glad VA stopped them. I thought they were hiv disclosure though, not fertility reasons?

jasmineh7777

MT has a rubella test, for fertility reasons. No hiv test, and only the woman is supposed to do it. I can do some paperwork and not get it done, but I have to put in writing my reasons for not doing it.

katiewhompus

Ugh, I don't suppose they accept "I hate needles and you suck" as a valid reason?

jasmineh7777

We will see. I will follow that with "Mind your own fuucking business. I can handle my fertility all on my own."

In washington you don't need much anything. You can mail in your application as long as it's notarized, and if you know a notary you dont' even need to show ID. I'm going to have my co-worker notarize our application next week so we can send it in!

For Kentucky, all you need is a state issued ID, from any state.  Driver's Liscense counts.
