The Ins and Outs of Obtaining a Marriage License?
Each year, hundreds of thousands of marriages take place in the United States. Before a couple can be married, it is required that they obtain a marriage license. This document can be issued either by a church or state authority, and gives authorization for the two people to legally marry. In many places the marriage license also serves as a record of the marriage and is signed by the couple, the officiant of the wedding, and witnessed by at least two other people. This license then goes on file in a central recording office. The first marriage license was issued during the Middle Ages. Since this time, the procedure for obtaining this type of license has changed and evolved. The process for obtaining a marriage license also varies from state to state. In most cases, it is required that both parties appear in person at the time the license is requested. Both parties must also be of legal marrying age, which can vary between states; each person must present acceptable identification, such as a driver’s license or birth certificate. Depending on the state, further documentation may be necessary. After requesting a marriage license, many states require that a certain amount of time passes between the time the license is granted and the time during which the wedding ceremony occurs. In many states, the license becomes null and void if the couple is not married within a certain amount of days. This would mean that the couple would have to reapply for another marriage license, thus beginning the process all over again. The purpose of a marriage license, as defined by governing authorities, is to protect the citizens of the United States. Requiring a couple to obtain a marriage license prevents illegal and improper marriages; it also helps each state to keep adequate marriage records. Many people believe that requiring a couple to apply for a marriage license and then wait for a specified period of time before becoming married forces the couple to seriously consider the implications of marriage.

Gay people may marry in any state that recognizes same sex marriage and that does not have a residency requirement for marriage, and no other documentation is needed. However, your home state may not recognize your marriage (but the Federal government will).It should be noted that in the United States many people are under the impression that proof of your marriage is your marriage "license". That is incorrect. A marriage license is signed and returned to the issuing civil authority by the officiant who performs the ceremony. That is how the marriage becomes registered. Proof of marriage is a marriage certificate or certificate of marriage that can be obtained from the town or county clerk where the marriage license was issued and returned.See related question link.
