My BF and I are planning on a July 18th wedding. We live in St. Louis, MO and I know the general laws for being able to get a marriage license in St. Louis County. The only problem that I can see is that my BF doesn't have a passport. He has a permanent resident's card AND an international drivers license. Aside from those, he has a social security card. Will it be possible for us to get a marriage license?Can my permanent resident BF get a marriage license?
Just call the courthouse and ask them What all he will need to bring so the two of you can get the marriage license. The best of luck to the two of you.Can my permanent resident BF get a marriage license?
Yes you can. He needs his drivers license, social security card, green card (no passport)
ID Requirement: Picture id such as Drivers License, and Social Security card.
Residency Requirement: Do not have to be a resident of Missouri.
Previous Marriages: Applicants must provide the date their last marriage ended and must wait at least 30 days after the divorce is final before applying for a marriage license.
Application Requirement: Both the bride and groom must appear together before the Recorder of Deeds of any Missouri county and apply for a marriage license. Once you have obtained your Missouri Marriage License, you can be married in any county in Missouri in the next 30 days. After 30 days, the license expires and you have to repeat the entire process again to get another one. Beware, at least one county in Missouri has their marraige licenses expire in only 15 days.
Waiting Period: None. Missouri has repealed the three-day (3) waiting period that Missouri previously required.
Fees: $50 plus a $1 fee for each parental consent. No Refunds - Cash Only.
Blood Tests: No tests
Under 18: A person under age 18 cannot marry without the consent of the custodial parent or guardian.
Solemnization Authority: Within the 30-day period after the marriage license is issued, the marriage must be ';solemnized'; by one of the following:
鈥?A clergyman or clergywoman, active or retired, who is in good standing with any church or synagogue in Missouri;
鈥?A Circuit Court or Associate Circuit Court judge (who are prohibited by a Missouri Constitutional provision from receiving any compensation for the service);
鈥?A religious society, institution or organization in Missouri of which either marriage party is a member, in accordance with the organization's regulations and customs.
Within 90 days after the marriage ceremony, the person solemnizing the marriage must complete the marriage certificate issued with the marriage license and return it to the office of the issuing Recorder. Lack of witnesses does not render a marriage invalid. However, two witnesses can submit an affidavit that the marriage ceremony took place if the certificate is lost or destroyed and the person who solemnized the marriage is unavailable.
Officiants: Marriages may be performed by any clergyman who is a citizen of the United States and who is in good standing with any church or synagogue in this state. Ministers must keep a record of all marriages they perform. They must give the couple a marriage certificate and must complete the marriage license and return it to the recorder of deeds within 90 days after the marriage license was issued.
Valid: License is valid for 30 days.
The license can only be used within the State of Missouri.
It is important that you verify all information with your local marriage license office or county clerk before making any wedding or travel plans.
Good luck
I think at that point, yeah, you can.
He'll need a birth certificate too.
I would think so, since he has a SS card. but I would call your local county clerk just to be sure ;)
