No you do not. The Full Faith and Credit clause of the Fourth Amendment requires states to recognize marriage from other states.
You are already married. You can have a ceremony in California but the legal marriage took place in Las Vegas. If you apply for a marriage license in California they will ask if you have ever been married before. You must disclose that you are already married and California will not issue the marriage license.
Of course not. In order to get married in California, they would have to lie on their marriage license application which will invalidate the license and make the marriage illegal.
No, a marriage license is a legal document that allows a couple to get married. The marriage license must be signed by both parties, an authorized officiant, and witnesses to make the marriage legally binding.
If you don't have a license for him to sign at the time of the ceremony, it cannot be recorded and so from a legal sense, you will not be married--except in your hearts.AnswerNo. You must have a valid marriage license in order to get married. The license must be signed by the official who performs the marriage and the license must be returned to the clerk's department that issued it. If there is no marriage license there is no marriage.
If you're talking about a marriage license--that is, the application to marry issued by the State of California--then no, you cannot use a California marriage license in Texas, you must be married in California. If you're talking about a California marriage certificate--the document that proves you were legally married in California--then yes, all U.S. states will recognize California marriages. Hope that helps!
Yes, all states are required by the constitution to honor the laws of another state. Hence the large uproar over gay marriages recently performed in CA. Another example is the trouble Ca. had over their taxing cars coming from other states without the Ca emissions package, the state eventually had to refund the fees collected
No, you are not legally married. A getting the license doesn't complete the process, it must be executed and returned.
You are not married unless the license is signed and brought back to the office that you got it from, which is most likely in or near the court house. They will then enter in all your information, make a copy, and send you a the license in the mail. If it was not signed and brought back, you are not married.
Yes. Marriage license can be filed in California and the wedding can be in NJ
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.
It is a license that shows you are married
That would be bigamy which is a crime. And to get the license, they would have to lie on the application, which is also a crime.
