Not exactly. A marriage license is a document you receive after having a civil marriage. In most countries, you also receive a marriage license for the civil portion of a religious marriage.

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.
