“A license to marry is effective upon issuance and expires after 180 days” (MCA 40-1-212), and it “authorizes a marriage ceremony to be performed in any county of this state” (40-1-201(2)). The record stays with the county that issued the licence: “The record is kept where the license was purchased, not necessarily where the ceremony occurred” (DPHHS). DPHHS ↗
