The Michigan Marriage License Application is the form that couples must complete in order to legally marry in the state of Michigan. The application is available online through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services website. The application must be printed, signed by both parties, and submitted in person to the county clerk's office in the county where the marriage will take place. The application requires information about both parties, including full name, address, date of birth, place of birth, social security numbers, and current marital status. Once the application is approved, the county clerk will issue a marriage license, which must be signed by both parties and returned to the county clerk's office in order to be legally recorded. Michigan has two types of marriage license applications: a standard marriage license and a confidential marriage license. The standard marriage license application is a public record, while the confidential marriage license application is only available to those who meet specific requirements and is not a public record.
