Proper identification can include any of the following:

• Valid Drivers Licenses, if your social security number is not printed on your drivers license, bring your social security card with you also.
• Valid Passports, or
• Certified Birth Certificates

• If you have been married before, you may want to simplify things by bringing your divorce decree with you.  However,  it is usually only required if the Bride changed her name within the divorce decree and her name change isn't reflected on her current drivers license. 
• And, again, if any applicant is under 18, contact one of the County offices listed below for the requirements for minors.
