I only needed a drivers license. In queens and the other boroughs they only ask for a license. I do know some places in LI want both a license and birth certificate

can you get your marriage license in queens if you are getting married on LI?

I called the town clerk in Suffolk county today and she said we both needed our BC or certified with the seal BC and then either our passport OR a drivers license... we both need 2 forms of ID.

Also not this may not apply but if you have a BC in another language you need a notarized letter with it in english... and they only accept check or MO.

yes, you can get it anywhere in new york. The license is from new york state, so thats why you can get it anywhere in NY

it depends where u go, so call beforehand!

we went to the town of oyster bay and they would NOT accept just a passport and a licence, so we went to the town of hempstead and they did accept it

You can get it anywhere in NYS

ok, for some reason i thought you only needed license (which is true in some places) and i'm pretty sure my parents have my birth cert, and that FH has his, but just in case its nice to know if im stuck i can go to queens

If you go to the Long Beach Town Hall, it looks like they do require a birth certificate.

Here's a LINK to more info.
