No. You need the license to be legal without it you just have a nice ceremony.
No, the Church will not marry you without a license.
No. A marriage license is required to be legally married in the state of Utah. A few churches will perform a ceremony without a license, but it does not count as a valid legal marriage.
The only way to get married without having a wedding is to be common law married. However, common law marriage is difficult to achieve and only recognized in a few remaining states. You'd have to research your state's law on common law marriage. You can, however, have a very simple justice of the peace wedding at your local courthouse. Contact the courthouse to find out when and how to sign up for a wedding ceremony. Typically, you can appear and get married in under 10 minutes for the cost of a marriage license (usually around $50). No traditional wedding to-do needed.
The marriage is not "official" and thereby not recognized by the state if a marriage license is not issued and duly signed by the pastor and witnesses ... in other words, yes, it would be illegal and in the eyes of the church, could constitute "living in sin!"
Nope. The marriage license is null and void without the proper signatures. And, the original marriage license itself is not void as the issue date is over one year.
Marriage is a legal status and a marriage license is required in the United States. A Christian minister cannot perform a marriage ceremony without a valid marriage license. There would be no valid marriage. A ceremony in which two people commit under religious or social constructs is generally known as a commitment ceremony or is given a specific name by the religious sect. (e.g. convalidation, sealing, handfasting)
Legally, all you need is an authorized officiant and two holders of the same marriage license. Everything else is optional.
You may or may not be. You need to check at that county clerk's office. It is the officiant's obligation to return the marriage license to the issuing office so your license may have been returned and recorded without your knowledge. Generally, if the license is never returned there is no vital record made and thus no proof of the marriage.
In some places around the world, a church marriage is all that is required. Today, in every state in the US, a marriage license is required and that must be issued by the county or other government authority. The priest will not perform the marriage ceremony without the license.
You will have to tell the officiant. They are not likely to perform the ceremony without knowing it is legal.
You cannot get legally married without a license. It doesn't matter where you are in the US.
It sounds as if you are referring to common law marriage. That doesn't exist in most jurisdictions. Generally, in order to be legally married a couple must obtain a valid marriage license in their particular jurisdiction and have their marriage solemnized by some official who is allowed to perform marriages in that jurisdiction.
