If you don't have a license for him to sign at the time of the ceremony, it cannot be recorded and so from a legal sense, you will not be married--except in your hearts.
AnswerNo. You must have a valid marriage license in order to get married. The license must be signed by the official who performs the marriage and the license must be returned to the clerk's department that issued it. If there is no marriage license there is no marriage.

No. If you obtain the marriage license in Louisiana, you must get married in the State of Louisiana. There are no residency requirements. You can get married in any parish in the state.

The license is valid for 30 days from the date of issuance. In Oklahoma, there are no residency requirements either, but the marriage must be performed in the State of Oklahoma.

Good Luck!
If a marriage license is only valid for 3 months and you do not officially get married are you still married when the license expires?
No. Obtaining a marriage license doesn't mean you're married. You must take your marriage license with you and arrange to have the ceremony performed by some person permitted in your state to perform marriages (city clerk, justice of the peace, priest, minister, judge, etc.). That person must sign the marriage license and return it to the town clerk where it was issued. If your marriage license expired before you used it to get married then you need to start all over again and apply for a new one.

Can you use passport instead of birth certificate for getting married in California?
In California, you are required to show valid photo ID, such as a passport, driver's license, state ID card, or military ID to obtain a public or confidential marriage license. Some counties may also require a copy of your birth certificate. For a public marriage license, you must be at least 18 years old. Minors must have written consent from at least one parent and permission from a California Superior Court Judge. Both parties must appear together at any County Clerk's Office to apply for the marriage license. You can have the ceremony anywhere in the state. You must have at least one witness present at your ceremony. For a confidential marriage license, you must be 18 years old. Minors cannot purchase a confidential marriage license. You must be living together as spouses and must sign an affidavit attesting to those facts. You must also be married in the county where the license is issued. No witnesses are required. If either of you have been married before, you will need to provide the specific date the marriage ended, and how it ended (death, dissolution, divorce, or nullity). Some counties may also require a copy of the final judgement if the marriage ended by dissolution or nullity. The license is valid for 90 days from the date of issuance. The fees and hours for obtaining a marriage license vary by county. Best of luck!
Can you get married in Missouri and then have a more formal ceremony in Nevada or California?
Short answer- yes. You can go to a Justice of the Peace (judge) in Missouri and then hold a formal ceremony anywhere else in the country. If you are both U.S. citizens and planning on a heterosexual marriage, then the legal marriage (in MO) will be legal in all 50 states. If only one of you is a U.S. citizen, there may be additional paperwork for the other person. Check with the marriage license office in Missouri. Planning a formal ceremony doesn't require a legal officiant. This happens all the time - where people get married officially months before the big wedding. My husband and I did this and it worked beautifully. We got married before a justice of the peace on a Monday morning - just the two of us (plus witnesses!). And then six months later- it was the big formal ceremony! Communicate with whoever your officiant is about what you want and you'll be fine.
