If a Mormon couple is going to be married or "sealed" in the temple, they will need a valid legal marriage license (or a valid legal marriage certificate, if they have already been married) for the state or country where the temple is located. The laws vary from country to country, but the Church considers a 'sealing' to be a marriage and therefore will not perform the ceremony without legal consent to perform a marriage ceremony, or without official proof that the couple is already recognized as legally married. If you have questions on exactly what legal forms are necessary, call the temple and ask what the requirements are in your state or country.
