  • Residence (city, county, and state)
  • Birthplace (state or foreign country)
  • Date of birth
  • Number of this marriage (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)
  • If previously married, how the last marriage ended and the duration of it
  • Race

Parents' Information

  • Father's full names (first, middle, and last)
  • Mother's full names (first, middle, and maiden)
  • All birthplaces (state or foreign country)

Other Marriage License Information

  • If the applicant is under 18, ID of parent or consenting guardian
  • Name and address of person performing the ceremony, if known
