This is the document that you need to prove that you are married. It is recommended that you have at least two copies at all times. One copy should be kept for personal documentation (or even framing) and you should have at least one other copy that can be used to show proof of marriage. What many people do not realize is that you will have to change your name with every agency or business. It is not a one step deal.

Here are some of the reasons why you will need to provide your legal marriage license:

• DMV

• Social Security

• Passport

• Bank accounts

• Immigration

• Foreign Visa

• Work

• Health Insurance

• Medicaid

• Welfare Services

• IRS audit

• Home Mortgage

• Business venture

• Adoption

These are just some of the reasons why you need your legal marriage license, among many others. You should always have a few certified copies on hand. Many times when you have to send in a copy to a government agency, it can take a few weeks for them to mail it back to you. If you do not have multiple certified copies of your marriage certificate, getting your name changed and getting your benefits will very likely be delayed and take much longer to complete. You can order your certified marriage certificate right here in one simple step.
