If you want it to recognized by the state than yes you need to apply for a marriage license, after the ceremony it will be signed by 2 witnesses and the person performing the ceremony. At that point you then turn it in at the court house and they issue you a marriage license. You need this license in order change your name on your license and social security card and for taxes.  I believe even in handfastings these days the same rules apply.

Depending on where you live, you have to file for a certificate a few days in advance.  Then you can just go to the courthouse, and they'll do it right there.  I would just call city hall, or the Justice of the Peace and find out what information you need.  Or you can just do a search, such as "Marriage license requirements" on the internet, and it'll tell you.  I'd put your state ahead of that.  I had to do a search for this for someone once before, and it will tell you if a blood test is required, and if any wait is required. In Texas, it's 36 hours, but some states have no wait.

I do believe it depends on the state that you are getting married in, however, you can always call city hall, and find out what they would be willing, or not willing to do for you.  They may send out the license to you to fill out, and send back to them, maybe with copies of drivers license and such...On the other things, use your relatives to book for you....you don't have to be the one who books the church and such, and long as someone gives the money, that is why people hire a wedding planner most of the time.  So they do not have to do everything.

Why do you need to do it anonymously?  Was this your marriage?  If so you have every right to get a copy of your marriage certificate. You will probably need to go the the county registrar of the county where the wedding license was signed.

Depends on how old you are. If you're a legal adult, you don't need parent/guardian signature.\n But i do think you might need to put it on the marriage certificate for official records

You'll have to go to the county clerk's office for which ever county you're in to get the license & both the bride and groom will have to be present to get it.  No, you don't have to be a resident of Wyoming to get married there--just alive and willing!

If the rental property is between 1 and 4 units, you don't need a license. If it's more than a 4 unit complex, you will need to get a license. I'm not hundred percent sure on this, so double check this info.\n\nRegards

Marriage is a public records.  So your license is posted on the web.  Just like birth records and other sensitive data.  Oh well, people can just go to the court house pull this information anyways.

It's stupid how you need a license to marry.

if you are married, you are married. Do you need another marriage license??? \n\nRenewing vows is merely symbolic right? The state is not involved  Unless you are getting REmarried.

Does the state you live in recognize "common law" marriage? If so,you can go to the courthouse,taking proper ID with you,filling out some paperwork,pay the SAME fee it would cost to get a marriage license,and it would be notorized and you would be "common law" same as a Justice of the Peace marrying you(that is how it is here in Texas). Took the notorized paperwork to Driver's License place,got new license with his last name,nice and easy, no hassles,just had to pay the $10 to get name changed on Driver's License. Good luck

You can't get a license, but the driver's license office will give you a state I.D. for a fee.  You have to bring some forms of I.D.--check their website for the requirements for your state (office of motor vehicles).  It might be birth certificate, social security card, etc.

Go to your local social security office with your current card, a valid id and your marriage cert.

Well, I'm not married myself but I have already planned two weddings for friends of mine.  First you need a minister or justice of the peace and arrange a time to be married.  You need a spot, someone's back yard, a park, the beach anywhere the scenery is nice and doesn't come with a rental fee.  Of course you need a dress and the accessories and your groom needs something to wear as well.  You need two attendants to witness your marriage and sign your marriage certificate--and of course you need a marriage certificate.  You need to apply for this in the town or city you are getting married in, and you need your birth certificate when doing this.  Now comes the memories part.  I would believe you would want pictures of your big day.  Have a friend who owns a digital camera and a steady hand to do this.  Have he or she research on the internet about different poses and styles.  When you wedding day is over and you go back to the normal way of life you can just take you digital memory card to your local department store (WalMart) and have pictures printed, enlarged, and thank you cards done!!  Real Cheap!!  Also, you may ask a family member with a video camera (perferably digital) to do a video for you and if you are knowledgeable with computer software, you can incorporate childhood pictures and make a very professional video-CHEAP!!  As for a reception, you can ask family members to bring a dish and serve a buffet style meal.  The dance is totally optional, but you would run into a d.j. fee and a rental hall fee and so on.\n\nThis in a nut shell is a wedding!  Good Luck!!
