Answer 1

Your marriage is valid the world over. There is no need to voluntarily show it to anyone!

Answer 2

Your marriage license gives you license, or permission, to get married. That does you no good to prove that you actually did get married. What you need is a certified copy of your marriage certificate, which you will request from Washoe County, the county that Reno is in.

You have to get your licence from Washoe County as well, or it will not be valid. Your license has to be issued by the same county that you get married in. When you get the license, they'll probably give you information on how to request the certificate.

When you get home, request the certificate as soon as possible. In fact, it's recommended to get at least two copies. Put one away in a safe place and take the other one with you to places that you need to prove your marriage to. It'll probably take a few weeks to get a certified copy, so you don't want to be without one if one gets lost, damaged, or has to be mailed somewhere to verify something.

You will only have to show your marriage certificate if you are changing your name or are applying for benefits of being married. For example, if your husband has insurance through his work and wants to add you on, they may request proof.

If you are changing your name, you should go ahead and start calling yourself the new name even before you get your marriage certificate. You will have to contact anyone you do business with, including the DMV, social security office, banks, and so on. My bank strongly recommended that I keep both last names on my accounts so that I can still cash checks issued to my maiden name, which came in handy because the HR department at my work was the last one to actually change.

Good luck, and congratulations on your wedding.

Answer 3

I agree the marriage is valid no matter where you go. You may need to show it to you HR for benefits, but other than that it is not required. You can put it on file with the Clerk of Courts in San Jose, but again not necessary.

Answer 4

Oh you will be showing it all right - anywhere that you want to change your name, banks, Social Sec. card, mortgages, just about everyone will ask for it. Get the Clerk in Nevada to mail you a couple of certified copies. The Clerk in your county does not need to be notified.

Answer 5

I don't think so, as a matter of fact, I've never heard of it in the US. Other countries, yes, but not the US.

Keep your marriage licence/certificate in a safe place with other important papers. You'll need it if you decide to change your name, and it usually helps to enclose a copy the first time you file taxes as a married couple.

Answer 6

You only need show it for name change - like at the DMV or Social Security office but other than that it is legal and registered nationwide. Good Luck!

Answer 7

you dont need to tell the clerk in your town anything.

you will need to make copies, and send that to anyone that may want proof of your marriage or name change. like your social security card, bank accounts, insurance, any bills, etc.

Answer 8

No, you don't need to do that.

I live in NY and was married in VT.

As long as your marriage is filed with the town you're getting married in you're all set.

Answer 9

with most destination weddings you do need to get a license from your state also i would call your city hall and talk to some one in the license office -congrats on the upcoming wedding
