Both applicants must be currently unmarried. Both parties must be at least 18 years of age or can meet the age requirements. The parties are not nearer of kin to each other than second cousins, whole or half blood.   Under 18: 17-year-old Applicants: Seventeen-year-old parties can apply if one of the following conditions is met: -  A parent or legal guardian submits a notarized statement of consent (available at any marriage licensing location). -  Must bring a certified copy of the applicant's birth certificate or documents establishing legal guardianship. -  The applicant is legally emancipated and takes the court-certified copy of the emancipation document with them to apply.   Under Age 17 Parties under age 17 can apply only when the age requirement is waived by a superior court judge of the county in which one of the parties resides. Each party to the marriage that is under 17 years of age must present a waiver specifically naming them.   Marriage license applicants do not have to reside in Washington state. A marriage license purchased from any county in Washington state can be used to get married anywhere in Washington state.  Applicants are not required to have a U. S. Social Security number in order to obtain a marriage license.  However, one of the marriage license forms requires the inclusion of one's Social Security number OR the applicant's signature on a declaration that they do not have a U. S. Social Security number.  This will not impair the couple's ability to receive their marriage license.
