I don't think it matters really. I am 16 and my boyfriend is 20, and we are looking to get married in Las Veags, and we looked up that all you have to have is a document confrming that your parents gave you permission. So, good luck!
As soon as you're 16 you can get married, but yeah, you still need your parents consent to get married, a signed piece of paper won't just do it.
It depends on the laws of the state in which the marriage is to take place. Some states require at least one parent actually being present when the license is obtained. Other states will accept notarized statement giving parental permission. There are cases where minor's have gotten married using false indentification or fraudulent documents, this would result in the marriage being deemed invalid if challenged for instance by the minor's parents. There are a few states that require anyone under the age of eighteen,to not only obtain parental permission but also attend a counseling session and there will be a longer waiting period before the marriage can take place. For a marriage to be legal in any state all the required documents must be valid.
