Your Social Security number is required on the application form.
If one or both applicants were previously married, you need to show proof that the prior marriage ended. A certified copy of the divorce decree or a death certificate for a deceased former spouse both qualify. The clerk's staff will check these documents at the time of application. The minimum age to apply without restrictions is 18. Applicants who are 16 or 17 can apply with parental consent under IC 31-11-1-4.
Indiana does not require a blood test or medical exam. There is no waiting period. The license is valid for 60 days from the issue date under IC 31-11-4-10. There is no residency requirement, so couples from outside Indiana can apply for a Boone County license as long as they plan to marry in the state.

Call (765) 482-3510 to confirm the current amount and accepted payment methods before your visit to Lebanon. Fee amounts can change, and it is better to check ahead of time.
The fee covers the license itself. If you need certified copies of the license after the ceremony, ask the clerk's office about copy fees when you apply.
