Answer:
In Michigan, you may need to provide proof of age when applying to marry. This can include a birth certificate or other acceptable documents if requested by the county clerk. According to Michigan law (MCLS § 551.103), individuals who are 18 or older can marry. Those aged 16 or 17 can marry with written consent from a parent or legal guardian. Therefore, it is important to have the necessary documentation ready when you apply for a marriage license.
