Does filing your marriage license automatically change your last name?

You don't change your name until after you are married and you only do this if you wish. There will be a small box on the marriage license that you will check if you intend to change your name. AFTER the wedding you go to all the important places like the bank, Social security, DMV, schools to change to your new name. It takes a couple of days to get it done. Make sure you have your license with you, your birth certificate and social security card. Start with the DMV and go to the social security because you will need a photo ID for the SS.

Are you legally married in Florida if you had the license went through the ceremony but the license was never filed with the state?
I'm an Ohio lawyer and while I haven't read the marriage statutes of all 50 states, I believe that the requirements of all 50 states are: -The couple has to apply for and receive a license. -The marriage must be performed by a person authorized by the state to perform marriages. Ohio has no requirements on what comprises a valid marriage ceremony, however some states have one or more of the following requirements- -that the couple make an affirmative indiction that they enter the marriage ("I do") - that the officiant make an affirmative indication that the marriage has been entered ("I now pronounce you husband and wife") -a certain number of witnesses. The marriage is valid when both these occur, filing the marriage license is NOT necessary for the validity of the marriage. Please note - these are the rules for a "ceremonial marriage", a "common law marriage" is completely different. To add to what the Ohio lawyer has said: I'm a Florida lawyer. There is no "common law marriage" in Florida, and, in Florida, the license must be filed for the marriage to be valid.
