My fiancé received his K1 Visa on January 24, 2014 in the Dominican Republic. He wasn't able to come right away because of an important project at his work place in which he played a big role. Now that we are finally getting things rolling and preparing for our wedding I wanted to make sure I get some advice. What documents are needed from my foreign fiancé in order to obtain a marriage license in NY? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thank you! That's what I thought but the passport only covers the identity aspect, he would also need something proving age.

Thank you so much. I hope my fiancé is able to get a copy of his birth certificate rather quickly. I honestly thought the passport would be enough to prove both his age and identity.

Technically a passport should cover both because a passport has a date of birth and picture. However, just to be safe you can have your immigration visa documentation as well. And try to get him his State ID Card ASAP.

That's where my confusion came from. As a USC I always use my passport as proof of identity as well as proof of age/d.o.b. Just to be safe I will make sure we have all necessary documentation to finally join in matrimony.

Hi there,

I married my husband in NYC. When we went to apply for the marriage license, I was asked to show my Canadian passport and an ID with my current address (I was living in Canada at the time). I had my birth certificate with me but they never asked to see it.
