For a certified copy of your marriage certificate, contact the vital records office in the state where you were married. You'll find instructions on how to request a copy and information on any fees.
A marriage license gives authority to get married in the state it was issued. A marriage certificate is valid almost all over the world.
Not if you get married in Las Vegas Nevada.
You are still legally married. You need to have the certificate from Jamaica.
You do not need to do so. You can file it with your local county, but just need to be able to produce a valid marriage certificate if required.
No! You are not legally married. The priest or marriage officiant must file the license or certificate to with the clerk of courts in the state you were married in.
No, you get a marriage license in the state you wish to get married in. If you are from Georgia, and you travel to Florida to get married, you will need to get a Florida license.
You do not 'cancel' a marriage certificate, but, in some States if you have been married less than a certain period of time (which varies from state to state) and meet other specific criteria you can have the marriage 'annulled.' This dissolves the marriage ab initio, and is legally distinct from a "divorce".If you got the license (not the "certificate", which is a document from the state that the marriage has been recorded) and then changed your mind before getting married, you don't usually need to explicitly "cancel" it. They normally expire after a short time (3 days to a month, again depending on the state) if the marriage is not solemnized (the "wedding" part) and recorded.
you cannot be issued a license without a certi. Technically, yes. The marriage licensed is used to be married, once the marriage is performed a marriage certificate is issued making the union legally valid. All persons who are licensed to perform marriages must file a copy of the certificate with the state's department vital statistics. Contact the office of vital statistics in the state where the marriage was performed to obtain a copy.
No, you do not. Your marriage is registered in the county that you are married in. All states recognize marriage in other states. Make sure that the person performing your marriage ceremony has a Certificate of Authority to Perform Marriages issued by a County Clerk from the State of Nevada. You can also order a a copy of your marriage certificate to prove you are married if/when you change your your last name.
You aren't asked for a marriage certificate for a passport. You are required to give a birth certificate only. Depending on your state you may also be considered married if over 7 years. I have had 3 passports (keep renewing them) and they are concerned with birth certificate, and the proper passport photo included with application.
You only need you proof of marriage. You should have a certificate of marriage.
