A:
Using an incorrect Social Security number on your marriage license can affect the legality of your marriage. Accurate information is essential when filing legal documents, and discrepancies may lead to questions about the validity of the marriage.
If the wrong number was used by mistake, it's important to address the error promptly. Contact your local county clerk or the office where you filed the marriage license to inform them of the mistake. They can guide you through the process of correcting the information, which may involve submitting additional documentation.
However, if the incorrect Social Security number was used intentionally, it could lead to more serious legal consequences, including charges related to fraud. It’s crucial to ensure all information provided is accurate and truthful. Seeking legal advice can help you understand the best steps to take based on your specific situation.
