I am a ‘solemnizer’ of marriages. I had to apply to my state for that license.
This section you cite means that I must have my ‘solemnization license’ in order to sign a marriage certificate saying the couple has been legally wed.
Thank you for the reply.
If you never applied for the license but performed marriages in your faith apart from any state recognition, what happens? Does the requirement to get a marriage license only apply to those who have already received the license to solemnize? If you give up the license to solemnize, does the requirement to get a marriage license still apply?
