No. Your illegal alien fiance must produce a certified copy of her birth certificate.Can a photocopy for a birth certificate work in getting a marriage license?
A copy of a birth certificate will not work. The original is needed.
Look at NY states gov. web site. Your attention should be focused on the county you plan to wed in as the county is who issues and records the wedding records. The state only determines what the ID requirement is in order to apply for the license. Click on the link that deals at the state and county level .org marriage license requirements as each state is different. It will advise as to the requirements. In the current state of affairs with homeland security, my best guess is that if your fianci is undocumented, she can marry but most states do not accept photo copies of birth certificates. Cruise lines will not even accept birth certificate copies ( originals are required ). The paper itself does not prove her identity. That's the key, she must be able to ';validate'; her identity.
A birth certificate isn't usually needed a drivers license will be fine..
