Need SSN before marriage?

[K&E2009 71]

So I was looking up the state laws and websites for Florida (cause thats where I'll be moving to).

I read this on the site:

Are there any other requirements?

Yes, the law requires applicants to have read the Marriage Handbook and affirm that they have read it when applying for a marriage license. If either party has been married previously and is no longer married because of divorce or death of the spouse, you will need to provide the date (month/date/year) the divorce was granted or the spouse passed away in order to complete the marriage license application.

Both groom and bride must appear with valid I.D.

Acceptable proof of identification: Driver's License, Passport (picture on passport needs to look like person), Florida State ID Card, Military Identification Card, Resident Alien Card, Naturalization Certificate, Visa, or Citizenship Certificate.

You will need to know your Social Security Number.

If the couple share parentage of minor children born in Florida, Florida Statute 741.01 requires an Affirmation of Common Child(ren) be completed and sworn or affirmed to when applying for a marriage license. The form is available on this website and the cost is $7.00 when placed under oath for the marriage license. The form requests the name of each child as listed on the birth certificate, date of birth, birth certificate number, and place of birth in Florida (city and county).

Does that mean BOTH people need SSN's??

You need to call them and speak to them about it. Many places do not require the SSN even though it is on the website as saying you do.

Our state says you need an SSN when you look at the online website and when we got to the office to apply for our license they said they only need my passport and birth certificate.

The resident of the State of Florida needs to have a SS number. They dont need the actual card, just know the number.

So I, the foreigner, don't need it?
