Will I need a parent's consent to fill out a marriage application?
Question Details:
I want to get married on my 18th birthday but it says you have to apply for the marriage license 72 hours before the wedding or else it wont be valid. Can I apply for the marriage license three days before I turn 18 without a parents consent so it'd be valid when I turn 18? Or will they still make me bring a parent?

If your state law says you must be at least 18 to get married, then that is the law. If you want to get married before that, you need parental consent or judicial approval. I do not see anyway around.
