16+ Section A. Sections 451.040, 451.080, and 451.090, RSMo, 1
17+are repealed and three n ew sections enacted in lieu thereof, to 2
18+be known as sections 451.040, 451.080, and 451.090, to read as 3
19+follows:4
20+ 451.040. 1. Previous to any marriage in this state, a 1
21+license for that purpose shall be obtained from the officer 2
22+authorized to issue the same, and no marriage contracted 3
23+shall be recognized as valid unless the license has been 4
24+previously obtained, and unless the marriage is solemnized 5
25+by a person authorized by law to solemnize marriages. 6
26+ 2. Before applicants for a marriage lice nse shall 7
27+receive a license, and before the recorder of deeds shall be 8
28+authorized to issue a license, the parties to the marriage 9
29+shall present an application for the license, duly executed 10
30+and signed in the presence of the recorder of deeds or their 11
31+deputy or electronically through an online process. If an 12
32+applicant is unable to sign the application in the presence 13
33+of the recorder of deeds as a result of the applicant's 14 SS SB 66 2
34+incarceration or because the applicant has been called or 15
35+ordered to active military duty out of the state or country, 16
36+the recorder of deeds may issue a license if: 17
37+ (1) An affidavit or sworn statement is submitted by 18
38+the incarcerated or military applicant on a form furnished 19
39+by the recorder of deeds which includes the nece ssary 20
40+information for the recorder of deeds to issue a marriage 21
41+license under this section. The form shall include, but not 22
42+be limited to, the following: 23
43+ (a) The names of both applicants for the marriage 24
44+license; 25
45+ (b) The date of birth of t he incarcerated or military 26
46+applicant; 27
47+ (c) An attestation by the incarcerated or military 28
48+applicant that both applicants are not related; 29
49+ (d) The date the marriage ended if the incarcerated or 30
50+military applicant was previously married; 31
51+ (e) An attestation signed by the incarcerated or 32
52+military applicant stating in substantial part that the 33
53+applicant is unable to appear in the presence of the 34
54+recorder of deeds as a result of the applicant's 35
55+incarceration or because the applicant has be en called or 36
56+ordered to active military duty out of the state or country, 37
57+which will be verified by the professional or official who 38
58+directs the operation of the jail or prison or the military 39
59+applicant's military officer, or such professional's or 40
60+official's designee, and acknowledged by a notary public 41
61+commissioned by the state of Missouri at the time of 42
62+verification. However, in the case of an applicant who is 43
63+called or ordered to active military duty outside Missouri, 44
64+acknowledgment may be obt ained by a notary public who is 45
65+duly commissioned by a state other than Missouri or by 46 SS SB 66 3
66+notarial services of a military officer in accordance with 47
67+the Uniform Code of Military Justice at the time of 48
68+verification; 49
69+ (2) The completed marriage license application of the 50
70+incarcerated or military applicant is submitted which 51
71+includes the applicant's Social Security number; except 52
72+that, in the event the applicant does not have a Social 53
73+Security number, a sworn statement by the applicant to that 54
74+effect; and 55
75+ (3) A copy of a government -issued identification for 56
76+the incarcerated or military applicant which contains the 57
77+applicant's photograph. However, in such case the 58
78+incarcerated applicant does not have such an identification 59
79+because the jail or prison to which he or she is confined 60
80+does not issue an identification with a photo his or her 61
81+notarized application shall satisfy this requirement. 62
82+ 3. Each application for a license shall contain the 63
