Can you get married to someone in a different state?
Most states require you to apply for your marriage license at the town or county clerk's office where the ceremony will be taking place. Your state of choice may not have any waiting period, in which case you can apply for your out of state marriage license and get married in the same day!
Do states share Marriage Records?
In many states a marriage license is already public record. So is a divorce. And since a marriage is a legal contract and a divorce is a legal settlement, in the states where these are not public record, they should be. The point of a marriage database is to make the public records searchable.
What happens if you don’t sign your marriage license?
In most cases, you are still considered married without registering the license. For example, California law requires the officiant to return the marriage license to the county clerk or recorder within 10 days of the ceremony. If, for some reason, this does not happen, you are still married.
Can you get married on the Internet?
Getting Married Online People who want a virtual wedding can throw the ceremony for fun, but they can't get legally married online from separate locations. This is because the legal aspects of a marriage must be fulfilled in a physical location and the internet itself is not a place or a legal entity.
