I have been married for three years, separated for the last year of it. I had the imprtant documents but my estranged wife needs the marriage certificate for insurance reasons. When I got it out, I noticed that only one of the two witnesses signed the certificate. Does this invalidate the certificate? Or is it unimportant since the other witness signed? This is in New Jersey. I thank you for your professional insight.
It probably does not since you both assumed you were married and acted as though you were. I had a similar problem once in the at the person that did the marriage ceremony forgot to sign and it was not a problem.
