How can you convert a Mexican license to a US license?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you have legal proof for entering the US you can have a license converted to a US licence. Some states allow a license with less documentation. Read this link for states that have less requirements: http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2007-11-15-mexicolicense_N.htm. More: A valid Mexican driver's license may allow you to drive within the United States (though you would need to check with each state's DMV since laws can differ) but typically insurance companies within the US will require you to obtain a valid license from a State within a short period of time of starting up an auto insurance policy." ©2008 CarInsurance.com, Inc. retrieved from http://www.carinsurance.com/kb/content16969.aspx.

Are there any religions that don't require a state license to get married?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

United States

It's not the religions that require the state license. It's the state governments that require a state marriage license if you want to be legally married. In the United States marriage is a civil legal status and not a religious status. Religious clergy are permitted by the US government to perform marriages along with many other public officials and anyone else who obtains a one day permit in many states. However, if you don't obtain a state marriage license first then you will not be legally married.

What do you need to obtain a same-sex marriage license?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In jurisdictions where same-sex marriage is legal, there is no difference in the requirements or procedure.

Both of you need to go in person to the appropriate authority that issues marriage licenses in the jurisdiction you have chose. This is usually a Town Clerk or City Clerk. You will both need to present identification, pay a fee and fill out a form which asks, among other things, whether either of you have been married before. If you have been married before, you will need to disclose the way in which your previous marriage ended: whether in divorce or death of your previous spouse. There is a chance you may be required to present proof.

Both applicants for a marriage license will need to meet requirements, such as age and absence of a close blood relationship to each other. Specific requirements vary by jurisdiction. Some places have a residency requirement. Some places still require a blood test and some places have a mandatory waiting period before the marriage can take place. These are details that you will need to ask the clerk who assists you in the application process.

There is a 3 day waiting period in Pennsylvania. A waiver of the 3 day waiting period may be obtained from the Judge of the Orphans' Court in extreme circumstances.

An appointment to meet with the Orphans' Court judge is mandatory. The marriage license is valid for 60 days from the date it is issued.
