HB 737 and SB 43 raise the minimum age for marriage in Missouri to 18 years old and prohibit Recorders from issuing a marriage license to any person under the age of 18.
As is required under current law, all applicants will continue to provide proof of age to the Recorder's office in the form of a certified copy of their birth certificate, passport, or other government-issued identification.
The Recorders Association of Missouri and all county Recorders are committed to upholding the statutory requirements of their offices, and these changes will be implemented promptly upon the law's effective date.
