An Act to update proof of age documentation

This bill updates Massachusetts law to modernize the types of documents accepted as proof of age for marriage applicants. It requires that both parties be at least 18 years old and must present one of ten specified documents, such as a passport, driver's license, or birth certificate, with a passport being the highest priority. The legislation also allows clerks to accept lower-priority documents like school records if higher-quality proof is not easily available. These changes directly affect couples seeking to marry in the state by clarifying which forms of identification are valid for verifying age.
