A 1266 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Limits information required to be provided on marriage or civil union license form.

This bill limits the information required on New Jersey marriage or civil union license applications. It prohibits the Department of Health from asking applicants to provide either (1) the number of times they've been married or entered a civil union, or (2) the name of their most recent spouse or civil union partner. The bill also clarifies that Social Security numbers collected for these forms must remain confidential and can only be used for child support enforcement, not released as public records. This change directly affects anyone applying for a marriage or civil union license in New Jersey.
