What are the benefits of getting a marriage license? My fiancé and I are getting married this summer/fall. I don't want to get a marriage license. I think that being legally married isn't as important as the commitment we are making to each other. Is it fraud if I take his name and in social settings we refer to each other as husband and wife, however legally we maintain our single status? He will actually loose his social security benefits if we get the license. He is considered a disabled adult/ child, because he was disabled at birth. He is in a wheelchair and he depends on that money. Being a disabled adult/ child means that it goes through his father’s social security. Also we have already filled power of attorney papers as well as our wills. Common Law marriage is not longer allowed where we live.

Does obtaining JUST a marriage license make you legally married? My sister is getting married next year and because both her and her fiancee are Lao (country of Laos) they will have a traditional Lao wedding in either Massachusetts or New Hampshire. Because a traditional Lao wedding ceremony involves an older, respected member of the community to over see the ceremony, there is no religious element to this. So, if they obtain their marriage license in either state, does that make them legally married? Do they need a judge or justice of the peace to make it official? Thanks!

Is it every appropriate for your job to insist you provide your marriage license? If you work for a Home Health Care agency is it appropriate for them to require you supply your marriage license before beginning work. After seeing her birth certificate, and noticing she had a different last name, they told her she would need to provide her marriage license. She does not understand why since she has already passed a background check and has been fingerprinted. Her ID states who she is. She stated they asked another employee for their bank statement and feels like something is wrong with that as well. Is there ever a reason that a bank statement would need to be provided to your job? This is a pretty big non-profit.
Would a "Long-form marriage certificate" contain the same info as a "Marriage license application"? I am applying to dual citizenship (for Ireland) and the Consulate wants my Grandparents marriage license application (to show my grandparents places of birth, ages at the time of the marriage, etc). However, the NYC marriage bureau claims they've never heard of such a thing and only have a "Long form marriage certificate" but they won't show me what's on it until I pay for it. Any idea as to whether it's all the same thing with just a different title?

Marriage License has wrong name is it legal? I'm trying to find out if marriage license is legal. Wife did not use current legal name on marriage certificate. Here comes the sad part, the first time we supposedly got married, we weren't really married because she was still married to somebody else. So two years later she convinced him to "renew" their vows. Only thing is her name as it appears on the license is not the legal name she uses. We have child support court documents with a totally different name. Trying to find out if the "second" license is legal. Forget about the whole marriage under false pretenses. Any help would be appreciated.

Where do you actually get a marriage license? I know this is probably a dumb question...I found on my counties webpage the qualifications and rules for obtaining a marriage license and it has the form available, but doesn't say what actual office you need to turn it into. When I tried to call the courthouse I didn't know which office to be directed to. Also the women in our state have to have a blood test done prior.
