An Act to update proof of age documentation

SD 234 updates the required documentation for proving age when obtaining certain certificates under state law. It establishes a strict, ranked list of acceptable documents, prioritizing U.S. passports first, followed by state-issued IDs, birth records, and other specified records. The bill requires clerks to verify that both parties are at least 18 years old before issuing a certificate, and mandates that lower-ranked documents (like school records or employment certificates) can only be accepted if higher-ranked documents (like passports or driver's licenses) are not available. This directly affects individuals seeking to prove their age for official purposes, such as marriage licenses or other legal certifications requiring age verification.
