If you have obtained a marriage license and the marriage ceremony was performed but you do not have a marriage certificate are you legally married?

[Edit]

Answer

you cannot be issued a license without a certi.

Technically, yes.

The marriage licensed is used to be married, once the marriage is performed a marriage certificate is issued making the union legally valid.

All persons who are licensed to perform marriages must file a copy of the certificate with the state's department vital statistics.

Contact the office of vital statistics in the state where the marriage was performed to obtain a copy.
