Answer:
In Kentucky, the county clerk issues marriage licenses. Typically, the license is issued by the clerk of the county where the female resides. However, if the female is eighteen years of age or older, or a widow, she can apply for the license at any county clerk's office, either in person or through a signed written application. This is outlined in KRS § 402.080.
