Since all forms of proper identification are also acceptable proof of age, holders of proper identification will not need additional documentation.
If you have a friend or family member who has been ordained online, is actually clergy or who is a judge they can of course perform the ceremony. However, for many couples it can be nice to have an officiant who knows the process in NYC, is familiar with the paperwork and knows how to file it properly.
