Without a license, it is not recognized as a legal marriage. It may allow one to become eligible for a common law marriage.
No, the Church will not marry you without a license.
In the Methodist Church, a couple can have a religious wedding ceremony conducted by a pastor, but a civil marriage license is typically required for the marriage to be legally recognized by the state. While the church may perform the ceremony, the absence of a marriage license means the couple is not legally married. It’s important for couples to check local laws and church policies regarding marriage to ensure both spiritual and legal recognition.
In some places around the world, a church marriage is all that is required. Today, in every state in the US, a marriage license is required and that must be issued by the county or other government authority. The priest will not perform the marriage ceremony without the license.
When it comes to marrying in a church or a chapel, there aren't any 'laws' about it. If the preacher is willing to do it, then you can. But he's not going to be willing to do it without a valid marriage license.
Contact the place that issued the license. That should be the court house. And what you probably want is the Certificate of Marriage, not the license.
No, the couple gets a marriage license and is either married by a Justice of the Peace or married by a Minister (or whatever religious denomination they are) in a church. A couple can have a simple chapel wedding to a large wedding.

No. A priest will not marry you in any state without a marriage license.ClarificationA priest cannot marry a couple unless they have a valid marriage license from the state where they plan to be married. Marriage is a civil legal status in the United States of America. The couple must obtain a civil marriage license and clergy. along with many major and minor political officials, as well as any individual who applies for a permit in many states (for example- the mother of the groom).
The marriage is not "official" and thereby not recognized by the state if a marriage license is not issued and duly signed by the pastor and witnesses ... in other words, yes, it would be illegal and in the eyes of the church, could constitute "living in sin!"
To legally marry, you must meet the requirements of the country/state that you get married in. Most places require that you obtain a marriage license through the court house and have the ceremony performed by an authorized individual. Once they have solemnized the ceremony, they document it on the license and it is returned to the court, who will then issue a marriage certificate. Anything else is not considered a legal marriage.
It depends on the church. The underage person person will need parental permission to get a marriage license, which is necessary to get married.
