New Marriage Law Effective 8/28/18

Bates County Recorder Lucille Mundey reports that Senate Bill No. 655 pertaining to marriage licenses became effective August 28, 2018. This Bill enacts new legislation under RSMo 451.090. 

Under this new legislation, a judge can no longer order the issuance of a marriage license. No license can be issued to any male or female under the age of 16. Custodial parental consent is required for applicants 16 and 17. No marriage license can be issued to any male or female 21 years of age or older to a male or female under 18 years of age.

The cost to apply for a marriage license in Bates County is $48. Both parties must apply in person and are required to provide photo identification and proof of age to the Recorder of Deeds. The application requires social security numbers. If either party has been married before, the date of death or dissolution of marriage is also required for the application. If applicant is a minor, his/her birth certificate is required and the custodial parent or legal guardian must be present to sign a consent form. Custodial parent or guardian must have photo identification and copy of decree (if divorced) or letters of guardianship. The license is issued the same day of the application and the parties have 30 days to use the license anywhere in Missouri.

Recorders of Deeds are committed to preserving records with the utmost care and consistency, including marriage licenses. The duty to fulfill all legal requirements for documents is paramount. As with any statutory change, the Bates County Recorder’s Office will modify its policies in order to implement the marriage age law as soon as it takes effect.

Questions about the upcoming changes to marriage license requirements can be directed to the Bates County Recorder, Lucille Mundey, and her staff at 660-679-3611.
