Best Answer

Marriage is a legal dependence. The oral vows are binding, and that's the purpose of the witnesses. You are legally married when the minister makes the pronouncement. Paper work problems among willing couples are simply worked out. If someone wanted out of a marriage which had paper work problems, the other party could sue for breach of contract and possibly require the other person to end the marriage through divorce. A serious misrepresentation of oneself could be grounds for the other party to seek an annulment.

If the minister signs off on a marriage license after the marriage ceremony is the marriage legal or is there something he has to submit?

There are a number of steps. First you get the license. Then the ceremony is done and the license is signed by the couple, the witnesses and the officiant. Then the license is returned to the courthouse and they will issue the marriage certificate.

Is a marriage legal in NC if the license was never sent to the state but the ceremony was performed?

Check with a family law attorney, but copies must be filed with the county issuing the license, not the state office. If a marriage license was issued and a ceremony was performed by a magistrate or ordained minister the license should be returned to the county that issued the license. If it was lost by the post office, a delayed marriage license can be filed. Check with the issuing Register of Deed's office, not Raleigh.

Should the policy fee be returned if a renewal policy was issued and then the issuer received a request for flat cancel?

If the policy is being cancelled retroactive to it's effective date as if it never existed then yes, it should be returned. This assumes that the policy fee was charged on the renewal. If you had a policy for the initial term and they have chosen not to renew you should not expect a return of your policy fee for the initial term.
