I want to know if I can marry my illegal boyfriend, and if so, how do I go about doing such a thing? I am not trying to make him legal. I just want to marry him because I love him.
To get married, you and your boyfriend can apply for a marriage license at your city hall or county office. Normally, at least one form of valid picture ID will be required from each person.
You can marry anyone as long as neither of you is already married, and you are of age. The courthouse in the county where you reside should have the required license.
As long as both of you are eligible to marry under state law, i.e. 18 and over and not currently married to someone else, go and get a marriage license from the justice of the peace, and then get married. His illegality is not an impediment to get married.
