How do you serve legal documents in Mexico?
Serving legal documents in Mexico is somewhat similar to how documents are served in any other country. However, there are particular challenges that are involved in serving papers south of the border, for instance.
Language, although English is widely spoken, Spanish is still the country's primary language, and so it will be necessary in most cases to be able to get around Mexico.
If the defendant to be serve has skip town or does not live at the address on file, the resources for tracing an individual in Mexico are rather limited, so it is important to have as much alternative information about the individual's family as possible, in this way you may have additional places to look for, and find his or her whereabouts.
Usually an affidavit of service must be notarized, and so you will need to visit a U.S. Consular office in Mexico. Notarization by a Mexican notary is possible, but rather time consuming, expensive and not always a sure shot. That is because, even if the affidavit is translated to Spanish, if the notary does not understand the purpose of the document, he or she will not notarize it.
An alternative option is to use a private investigations company in Mexico to serve the documents for you.

Why does the state require a license to marry?
Marriage is a legal transaction and important life event. States have marriage license laws in order to maintain the standards required to create a legal marriage and then to record it for future reference. Without such a system a person would be unable to obtain any official proof that they were married. That would be especially important in such cases as inheritance, obtaining government benefits and tracing family histories.
Records of life events such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, and death certificates are maintained under governmental authority in most jurisdictions. Such records help to preserve rights in the modern world. The original purpose of keeping official records of important life events in the ancient world was for tax purposes.
Once the documents are scanned and indexed/ coded, having access to them is critical to manage business. Many companies have a document management system in place that allows access to the documents electronically. A data file, and the corresponding legal documents on a CD, or via FTP, or on a thumb drive can be uploaded into the DM system. If an established and secure way to share litigation related documents among users is not available, look at DOCCEPT document management software option.

Can you print rather than sign your name on a legal document?
The general rule for signatures is that as long as you make some sort of mark that you can identify as your mark, then it is a valid "signature." Even an X is a valid signature as long as the person making the X can identify it as theirs. As long as the mark made by the person represents their intent to authenticate the document, it can theoretically be anything. In the movies of the old west one has seen where a person unable to read or write authenticates a document with simply an "X", the document is legal. That is the value of a witness who can testify that the document was in fact made by that person. The problem may arise later if the original signer or the witness become unavailable and there is no reliable sample for comparison. An "X" on a legal document such as a deed or mortgage would need to be witnessed on the face of the document in order for it to be a valid conveyance.

Is it illegal not to have a photo driving licence in the UK?

It is not illegal to be a holder of the older paper-based licences (unless it was issued after 1998, see update below). However it is highly recommended that you apply for a newer photo licence.
The photo licences are a lot more accurate than the old paper-based licences and cuts the number of licence frauds in the country. It also increases accuracy and speed of dealing with enquiries, for example, if you are stopped by the police, a paper licence can take 20 minutes to process, wasting both yours and the police's time. A photo licence can be processed in 5 minutes.
No paper licences are being issued anymore due to European laws. However, holding a previous paper license is not illegal. But it is highly recommended you get it upgraded.
