Today, I was told my birth certificate was not the right one. It is certified from the hospital, but they want the county one. I can't get a copy of my birth certificate from the county because the DMV gave me a temporary driver's license. I need a valid drivers license or passport, to get my birth certificate. You can't get one without the other. Or something like that. I can't get my driver's license without my birth certificate and I can't get a birth certificate without my driver's license or valid passport and can't get that--oh well.
And, my marriage license. I have the original marriage certificate signed at the church, but they want the one from the county. It was 34 years ago, and I don't know what county we applied to for the license-just where we were married, but that doesn't count. So, will have to check "likely" counties.
It may be a good thing that we live in a golf cart community, because my temporary license is only good for two months.
My husband did not need all this because he was born before a certain date as far as the birth certificate and didn't change his name so no marriage license needed. He received his new license first try.
Really, not much rattles me, but this has. Really!

You marriage license would be filed by the minister, priest, justice of the peace or whoever married you. Most likely the person who married you would file it in the county where the marriage took place. That is where I'd start.
What I mean is, it doesn't matter where you obtained the marriage license. It is filed by the person who married you.
Some states retain your vital records. Some, and most, counties retain the records. That would include birth certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, birth and death records.
You are a perfect example of someone put in a difficult position because of the Homeland Security regulations regarding driver's licenses.
