An Alabama Request to be Considered an Adult by a Minor who is 18 Years Old is a request from an 18-year-old minor seeking to be legally recognized as an adult in the state of Alabama. There are two types of requests to be considered an adult by a minor in Alabama: an emancipation request and a declaration of adulthood. An emancipation request is a court-granted order that allows a minor to be recognized as an adult in legal matters, such as contract signing, marriage, financial decisions, and other legal matters. A declaration of adulthood is a statement filed with the court that declares the minor to be an adult in the eyes of the law. Both types of requests require the minor to be at least 18 years old. The process of filing a request to be considered an adult by a minor in Alabama requires the minor to fill out an application and submit it to the court, along with proof of age and other supporting documents. The court will then review the application and may grant or deny the request depending on the circumstances.
