∙ 8y agoAssuming you mean in the U.S.A., no, you are not married simply because you obtained a LISCENSE to marry. That just means that you CAN be married. You must take your marriage license and go to a person whom is legally allowed to perform a marriage in your state, such as a "Justice of the Peace", or an ordained minister, church, etc.

A "Marriage Certificate" "certifies" that a marriage took place, between the two parties named on the certificate, on a certain date, at a certain place, and was officiated by a person qualified to officiate a wedding. So, no, you cannot get a "Certificate of Marriage" if you did not get married.
What should you do if you did not turn in a marriage license and it was thrown away over a year ago?
You Should Be Able To Get A Copy From The Clerks Office In State And County Of Marriage. Call They Will Tell You The Person To See. * A marriage license is not "turned in", either the couple are married or the license expires and is no longer valid. A license that was issued more than a year ago would by now have expired if the marriage never took place. A marriage license is not proof of a valid marriage. The document that verifies a legal marriage is the marriage certificate which is signed by the person who performs the ceremony (minister, judge, JP, etc.)and filed with the vital records division in the state where the marriage takes place. Likewise, a copy of the certificate can be obtained from the state's division of vital records in the state where the marriage was performed.
Can you get a duplicate if you lost your birth certificate?
I'm not sure if you are referring to the marriage license before the ceremony or if you mean a copy of the marriage certificate after you've been married. If you need a copy of the license before the ceremony, you should contact the office where you obtained the marriage license. There may be a small fee for a copy. The marriage license is usually valid for 30 or 60 days, depending on the County. If you are referring to getting a copy after the ceremony, the official submits the document to the County for filing. You should contact the County where the ceremony was held. Using the attached website link, you can access marriage license and marriage record information for all of the counties in all 50 states. Depending on the State, some records may be at the State level or City level rather than the County level. Click on your State and then scroll to your specific County for exact information.

Can you just go to New Hampshire and get married in a gay relationship or do you need something else other than a marriage license when moving from another state?
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.
