Are marriage and drivers licenses valid from one state to the next?
A marriage license from one state is not valid in another state.
A driver's license from your home state is good while traveling in another state. However, if you move you must obtain a new license from your new state within a certain time period. At that time you will be required to surrender your old driver's license.
How do you protect yourself from personal liability when forming a limited liability company?
A sole proprietorship, by its very nature, offers no protection against liability. You can purchase insurance to pass certain types of liability to the insurance carrier, but the primary liability will continue to rest with the individual.
To obtain limited liability, you will need an entity. The closest thing to a sole proprietorship is a single-member LLC. For Federal tax purposes, it is treated as sole proprietorship. You simply report the income on your 1040 Schedule C, just as if the LLC did not exist.
Other choices include a corporation or an S corporation, both of which provide limited liability for shareholders.

Is a document legal if you have it witnessed but not acknowledged by a notary?
Only if the notary is a really close friend or family member who can vouch for the person's signature.
Another View: Any document is "legal" unless until it's authenticity is called into question. If the un-notarized signature is challenged there ARE ways to prove that the signature is genuine (i.e.: expert handwriting analysis) but notarizing something is still the best, quickest, and easiest means.

A Life Estate provides its owner with the use and possession of real property for life. The life tenant can extinguish that right by executing a release that must be recorded in the land records. Otherwise it is automatically extinguished upon the death of the life tenant.

Is it illegal to deliberately prevent you from getting your mail?
The mail is the property of the US Postal Service, and therefore of the US government, until it gets to the intended recipient. One has to wonder how the landlord got hold of the mail before the recipient did. Removing another person's mail from that person's mailbox is indeed illegal. If the mail is inside the apartment and the unit is legally closed to the tenant for whatever reason, that is different. Once mail is in the hands of the intended recipient, then the argument that denying access to it is illegal no longer holds.
How can you find federal indictment records free?
I seriously doubt that this information is available on-line simply due to the tremendous volume of information and data entry work that it would entail.
The indictments, once handed down, would become part of the defendants court case file and once the case is concluded could possibly be accessed as 'public' records.
ALSO: Some (many?) federal grand jury indictments are often sealed so that the persons named in them won't be warned prior to their arrest.
Is it legal in North Carolina for a married woman to use her maiden name for all legal documents?
She must use her legal name; if this happens to be her maiden name (i.e. she did not change her name at the marriage) then she may do so. However, if she did change her name, she must use this on all legal documents which require it.
Can a notary sign a will if he or she could possibly benefit from the will?
No. This would be conflict of interest, and it would cause the will to be dismissed in probate court and would also possible cause the notary to be held responsible for any loss as a result of an improper notarization. It is against the law for a notary to notarize a document in which he or she has a financial or other beneficial interest in the transaction.

How can someone obtain a copy of a birth certificate if it doesn't have a first name on it?
United States
You haven't included any detail such as why/how you know the birth certificate doesn't have a first name. You need to contact the city clerk's office where the child was born. You need to know the approximate date the child was born and ask the city clerk to perform a search of the birth records around the date of the child's birth for the surname you do have. The city clerk's office is notified of births and they are recorded in chronological order. You may be able to visit in person and do the research yourself.

AnswerI would make sure his 'work visa' does not expire. If he overstays on his visa - its going to be VERY VERY difficult for him to begin any papers here even though you are a U.S. Citizen. Trust me - I am going through this same situation right now! All you have to do is go to usembassy and you will find information about all of this! Good luck!
AnswerAll he needs to get married is a valid picture I.D. A passport, driver's licens, or work-authorization card with his picture will all work. Some states will ask for a social security number. Contrary to what a previous person said, it will NOT be difficult to get him his greencard, even if he overstays his visa, as long as he entered the US legally. Once you marry, file the I-485. You can download it at http://www.uscis.gov He should NOT leave the country while the I-485 is pending if he has overstayed his visa. If he needs to leave the country and has not overstayed his visa, he will need to file for advanced parole. The I-485 takes from one to four years to complete depending on the part of the country you're in.
Outstanding answer.. the I-485 is used for those who want to adjust status while in the United states.. It costs about 1500.00, not included is the medical exam, TB test etc. That person had to make "legal entry" and the I-94 (valid) is can be used as proof that they did. If you start right after you get married, it will take about 90 days before the interview. Make sure you follow the direction in the USCIS web site and fill-out all the forms. You will also have to get the persons birth certificate translated into english and must be certified. There are several ON-LINE web sites that can do this for you and they are real fast. Once the I-485 is filed the person is considered to be "adjusting status" and will be considered to be out of status if that person leaves the country for ANY reason without approval. The answer above is right on...if there is a emergency..death etc.., you can get approved for an advance parole where that person can leave without giving up this adjustment of status. When you get to the border just present the advance parole, they can enter provided no previous violations of law and resume their status. Just remember, at the border they will be subject to inspection and they could be found (criminal history or violations) inadmissiable.
Does changing or altering a legal document after it is signed invalidate the document?
Altering a document after it has been notarized may be considered forging an official document, and may subject you to criminal charges. It changes the nature of the document and thus invalidates the acknowledgment.

Yes. It's called fraud. If you look young, you might be asked for other ID to prove your age & that could cause problems. BUT..... if you are well past the age of, say, forty-something then probably nobody would question you if you shaved off a few years... ;-)
