Before a couple can be married in
the United States they must obtain a marriage
license from their local jurisdiction. The
license grants permission for the couple to enter
into a legal marriage. Although the standards
of
marriage are
universal throughout the U.S., states have different
requirements for obtaining the marriage license.
Marriage without a license is
possible either through common law marriage, where
permitted, or by obtaining a state pardon for
entering into marriage without a license.
Common law marriage can automatically befall couples
in some states states.
After the marriage license has
been issued and the marriage ceremony performed, the
license is signed by both parties to the marriage
and the official performing the marriage and
returned to the state which then issues a marriage
certificate acknowledging the marriage.
Below are the requirements each
state needs before a marriage license can be issued.
