It is written into the US Constitution. States have to recognize the actions of other state.

No, an Iowa marriage license is only valid in Iowa. You need a license valid in the location where the marriage is to take place.

There is no requirement to do so. Your marriage will be recognized.
No, you need the license from the location of the ceremony. You will have to apply in New Mexico.
Both the United States and Mexico recognize marriages performed in other jurisdictions as long as the marriage was legal in the jurisdiction it was performed. Both countries, however, reserve the right to reject a marriage which is "against public policy" (e.g., incestuous or polygamous marriages). As for same-sex marriages, they are recognized by Mexico and all Mexican states, but not by the federal government in the United States and not by most U.S. states. I believe you are asking if a previous marriage performed in Mexico will prevent you from marrying someone else in the United States. That answer is YES. When you apply for a marriage license, you will need to state how many times you were married before. If you lie and say you were not married, then you are committing the crime of bigamy and your newly attempted marriage is fraudulent and invalid. If you tell the truth and say you were previously married in Mexico, you will be asked to show how that marriage ended (whether in divorce, annulment or death of one spouse). If your previous marriage was a same-sex marriage and you are seeking to marry in a U.S. state that does not recognize same-sex marriage, then presumably you would be allowed to marry someone of the opposite sex as the same-sex marriage is considered invalid.
No, it would not be legal. The license must be issued by the country, Mexico, where the ceremony is to take place.
Maybe Mexico would be better. Mexico does not recongnize a marriage from the US with its citzens,however you can register the US marriage in Mexico to make it valid. Just to clarify: Mexico does recognize a marriage from the US (or any country)between aforeigner and a Mexican citizen, however you need to take the marriage license to have it apostille, then in Mexico you take it to the "Registro Civil" where it is registered. As for where to get married it depends on whether you want him/her to apply for the green card. In which case you have a lot of paperwork to do and waitwith patience.
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.
Yes. A certificate of marriage, regardless of where it was issued, is sufficient proof of legal change of name for a New Mexico driver's license. The gender of your spouse is irrelevant.
