No, an Iowa marriage license is only valid in Iowa. You need a license valid in the location where the marriage is to take place.

Are you legally married in the state of Iowa if you didn't sign the marriage license?

In Iowa, as you know, you apply for your marriage license at any County Recorder's Office. I would assume that both of you including your witness signed the marriage license application when you applied. Therefore, I'm guessing that you didn't sign the marriage certificate after the wedding ceremony. The marriage certificate is returned to the County Recorder's Office for recording. Since the ceremony was indeed performed, I doubt that the marriage is invalid. I suggest that you contact the County Recorder's Office to confirm that the marriage records have been filed. Attached is a link for obtaining marriage records in all of the counties in Iowa. Using the link, you can find contact information for your specific county.
