The second state wouldn't issue a marriage license (unless you lied on the application) since a prior marriage must be disclosed as well as the time and place of the divorce. This prevents polygamy which is a crime. However, there may an exception:

If you have a same sex marriage in Massachusetts, you are legally married in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. However, same sex marriage is not recognized in every state.

Perhaps you could theoretically go to another state and marry someone of the opposite sex. That marriage would be recognized by all other states and the Federal government so theoretically you are legally married to two people. However, on the second application for a marriage license you may need to disclose your prior marriage since it is a legal marriage in the state of origin and the second state may not issue the marriage license. That situation still needs to be explored.

A man and a woman cannot get married twice in two different states with two marriage licenses. A person can only be legally married one time. You can have a vow renewal ceremony in a different state if you wanted to.

No, you need to have the license from the location of the ceremony. Contact the appropriate county clerk.

What should you do if you did not turn in a marriage license and it was thrown away over a year ago?

You Should Be Able To Get A Copy From The Clerks Office In State And County Of Marriage. Call They Will Tell You The Person To See. * A marriage license is not "turned in", either the couple are married or the license expires and is no longer valid. A license that was issued more than a year ago would by now have expired if the marriage never took place. A marriage license is not proof of a valid marriage. The document that verifies a legal marriage is the marriage certificate which is signed by the person who performs the ceremony (minister, judge, JP, etc.)and filed with the vital records division in the state where the marriage takes place. Likewise, a copy of the certificate can be obtained from the state's division of vital records in the state where the marriage was performed.

Can you use a Louisiana marriage license in Oklahoma?

No. If you obtain the marriage license in Louisiana, you must get married in the State of Louisiana. There are no residency requirements. You can get married in any parish in the state. You will have to get the marriage license 3 prior to the ceremony. This can be waived by a judge or justice of the peace authorized to perform the ceremony. The license is valid for 30 days from the date of issuance. In Oklahoma, there are no residency requirements either, but the marriage must be performed in the State of Oklahoma. You must apply for the license no more than 10 days before the ceremony. There is no waiting period required except for those under the age of 18. If under age 18, there is a 72 hour waiting period. Good Luck!


Can you just go to New Hampshire and get married in a gay relationship or do you need something else other than a marriage license when moving from another state?

Gay people may marry in any state that recognizes same sex marriage and that does not have a residency requirement for marriage, and no other documentation is needed. However, your home state may not recognize your marriage (but the Federal government will).It should be noted that in the United States many people are under the impression that proof of your marriage is your marriage "license". That is incorrect. A marriage license is signed and returned to the issuing civil authority by the officiant who performs the ceremony. That is how the marriage becomes registered. Proof of marriage is a marriage certificate or certificate of marriage that can be obtained from the town or county clerk where the marriage license was issued and returned.See related question link.
