Yes. You need to obtain a civil marriage license from the jurisdiction where the marriage will be performed. Generally, the marriage license is only valid for a specific period of time such as thirty days. It must be signed and returned by the officiant who performs the ceremony.

If your marriage license was not processed due to a technical error but you had a proper wedding do you need to go through a divorce if you separate?
I believe you would need to call the office where your marriage license was issued, and ask them about the laws in your state. In some states you would still be married, regardless of the SNAFU. I had this happen - and the lady at the office in the courthouse said "If you intended on getting married - you're married." So, yes, I had to have an attorney and the whole works. If you are not legally married, you cannot get divorced. However, a technical error with the marriage license may not necessarily mean you are not legally married. It may be still legal, or you may be common law married. If you are not legally married, you can still file a civil suit for the dissolution of property.

You would like to marry in mo and have a formal wedding in ca or nv is that legal advice please thanks?
If MO granted you the license you could not use it to get legally married in any other state other than MO. Your marriage would only be "legal" in the state which grants the marriage license. HOWEVER - you could get legally married in MO -BUT- have ceremonial church services, and repeat your religious vows in any other state.... but, by then you would already be considered legally married.
If a US citizen got married in Mexico at the age of 17 then at the age of 18 married in the Catholic church and lived in New Mexico from the age of 17 is she legally married in New Mexico?

Can you get marriage license in Kansas and get married in Arizona?
You have to get married in the same state in which you obtained your marriage license. But you can apply for an Arizona marriage license if that is the state in which you have decided to get married. Just because you got a marriage license in one state doesn't mean you can't change your mind and apply to get married in a different state. But when you do get married, you have to have a marriage license in the state in which you get married. The marriage license is not recorded as a "done deal" until after the wedding, so it shouldn't be a problem.
