Check with a family law attorney, but copies must be filed with the county issuing the license, not the state office. If a marriage license was issued and a ceremony was performed by a magistrate or ordained minister the license should be returned to the county that issued the license. If it was lost by the post office, a delayed marriage license can be filed. Check with the issuing Register of Deed's office, not Raleigh.
