- Current, valid drivers license or state-issued ID card
- Passport
- Birth Certificate
Indiana state law (IC 31-11-4-6) includes 'any written evidence of the individual's date of birth that is satisfactory to the clerk.' In addition, if this documentation is in any language other than English, it may be necessary to have it translated and notarized before submitting it to the clerk. Because local policies vary by county, please contact the clerk's office in advance to ensure you have all the required documents.
You will also be required to provide your Social Security Number, although your Social Security Card may not be required.
If you were previously married, you will need to provide the date your marriage ended. In addition, some counties require a certified copy of the divorce decree.
Genealogical Information. The Clerk's Office will collect some family information from you that will be reported to the Indiana State Library (by law) for the purpose of genealogical research. You will need to provide the following for both parents:
- Full Name
- Last known address
- Birthplace (state or foreign country)
