Is marriage in Canada valid in US?

In general, a marriage is recognized by the federal government and by U.S. state governments if the marriage was considered legal in the jurisdiction in which it was performed (for example, Canada), unless the marriage is against public policy (i.e., incestuous, polygamous, etc.). One important exception is same-sex marriage, which is currently not recognized by the U.S. federal government and by many state governments. States that do recognize same-sex marriages, however, will also recognize a same-sex marriage performed in Canada.

Can you divorce in Canada when you are not a resident of Canada?

In general, yes. Note, this question may stem from a legal gap, where previously marriages performed in Canada to non-residents whose marriages might not be recognized in their state of residence were not definitely recognized in Canada (eg, marriage of a woman in the US to a woman in Britain). That has since been rectified: all marriages performed in Canada are now legally recognized in Canada.


If two US citizens get married in Canada are they legally married in the US?

Yes, a legal marriage in any country is recognized as a legal marriage in the US. You cannot legally get married in the US if you are already married in another country. What you can do is file the marriage document in the County office. Addendum: It should be noted that, under DOMA, only marriages between one person who is legally female and one who is legally male will be recognized. The rest of us are still waiting for reciprocity.

If you get married in Canada is it legal in the US?

Answer I can't be too sure on how legal it is as you are Canadian and you married out of the country. I'd contact Immigration Canada to find out how legal your marrige is. * You can be married outside of Canada and be legally recognized as married in Canada. You simply need to show the marriage certificate. The marriage certificate is less important than it used to be for legal reasons, however. What is more important is the duration that a couple cohabitates (lives together).
