Provided, however, 23 that in the event either of the parties for whose marriage the license in 24 question is applied for is under the age of eighteen (18) years, the recorder 25 shall not issue such license except upon compliance with the consent and proof 26 of age requirements set forth in section 32-202, Idaho Code. 27 (2) Every application for a marriage license shall include the social 28 security numbers of the parties applying for the license. 29 (a) The requirement that an applicant provide a social security 30 number shall apply only to applicants who have been assigned a social 31 security number. 32 33 (b) An applicant who has not been assigned a social security number 34 shall: 35 36 (i) Present written verification from the social security 37 administration that the applicant has not been assigned a social 38 security number; and 39 40 (ii) Submit a birth certificate, passport or other documentary 41 evidence issued by an entity other than a state or the United States; 42 and 43 2 1 (iii) Submit such proof as the department may require that the 2 applicant is lawfully present in the United States. 3 SECTION 2.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS08953
Amends I.C. 32-403 (application for marriage license) and I.C.
73-122 (application for a professional, occupational or
recreation license) to conform to the same standards as those
for a drivers license.
The change is to accommodate a licensing application alternative
to the possession of a social security number. Legal aliens such
as children or unemployed spouses of employed immigrants or
migrant workers with credentials otherwise, cannot obtain a
professional or occupational license, even though fully
qualified. Current law requires that only a social security
number may be used on an application.
FISCAL NOTE
No general funds need be used to implement this change.
