please help with marriage license in florida
first of all, customer service operators from govt offices are idiots because every time i call, i get different answers.
i will be going to the clerk of the court soon to get the marriage license.
here is the situation: no SS, no state-issued ID, but i have passport with I-94 and a birth certificate from my native country.
my birth certificate is not translated to english but im not sure if they require it. if any of the members here from FL have gone through something like this, please let me know of any advice!! it will be extremely appreciated!! thanks.
Get it translated and notorised. Even if it is not needed for the MC, it will be needed for your GC/AOS.

Your passport is fine. Birth certificate is not accepted.
I was married in Palm Beach County in 2002 and husband only had his Indian passport.
Marriage License Requirements
Both parties must be present when applying for a marriage license and each must present one of the following forms of identification:
Drivers license issued in the United States;
Federal or state identification card; or
Passport showing your name and date of birth (birth certificates or green cards are not accepted).
If either person was married before, the manner in which the last marriage ended and the exact date the marriage ended are needed. Copies of the death certificate, final decree of divorce, annulment or blood test are not required. You do not have to be a resident of Florida to apply.

my follow-up questions:
1) does the translation of birth certificate be done by any certified translator? or do they require a specific designated company/person?
2) so is passport ALL i will be needing?
3) if, at the marriage license place, they ask me if i am a FL resident, would i qualify as one? I mean, of course ive been living here for years (actually all my life except the first few yrs) but seeing that i dont have SS# and any state-issued ID and only foreign passport, not sure if it would be appropriate to put myself as FL resident.
