HB386

Require photo identification when applying for a marriage license

Chamber Passed·11/5/25

Requires photo identification when applying for a marriage license in Ohio.

Ohio HB386 amends the Revised Code to require individuals applying for a marriage license to present a current and valid photo identification. Acceptable forms of identification include a passport, driver's license, government- or school-issued identification card, baptismal record, immigration record, naturalization record, or court record. The bill also mandates that social security numbers be provided in a separate record and not displayed on the marriage license. This change aims to enhance the security and accuracy of marriage license applications.
