This bill updates what documents people can use to prove their identity when applying for a marriage license—accepting passports, government photo IDs, birth certificates paired with school or work IDs, or a specific Treasury form, instead of just birth certificates or photo IDs. It also clarifies that people can use marriage to legally change their surname to their spouse's last name or a hyphenated combination, but they cannot change their first or middle names or choose an unrelated surname through this process.
