What is the age requirement of witnesses?
Although State law does not specify the age of witnesses, they are witnessing a civil contract. A witness is deemed ‘competent’ for this purpose usually at the age of 18, however applicants who wish to have their children or another party who is under the age of 18 be their bridesmaid or best man, we recommend they have two other witnesses who are over 18 and who also observed the exchange of vows (marriage) sign the marriage certificate.
