Nebraska Marriage License Requirements
In Nebraska, applicants seeking a marriage license must present a government-issued photo ID and proof of age. The state does not impose residency requirements. A single witness aged 19 or older must be present during the licensing process. No blood test is required as a condition of licensure.
Age eligibility in Nebraska reflects the state's age of majority at 19 years. Applicants aged 19 and older may marry without consent. Those between 17 and 18 may marry with notarized parental consent. Applicants under 17 are not permitted to marry under state law. The marriage license fee is $25 statewide. Those seeking a marriage license should confirm all current requirements with their county clerk's office or consult Nebraska's official state statutes, as eligibility rules and procedures may be subject to change.
