My fiancé is from Israel. We want to marry however his passport expired. We are in the state of Pennsylvania. All he has valid is Israeli drivers license & birth certificate. He has a copy of US social security card, original was stolen. Can we marry with just these 2 forms of I.d.?

What county in Pennsylvania?  I think you will be fine with expired passport and international drivers license.

Look up the id requirements for the county, they should have them online

YMMV

Right. But there are counties within the state. What county are you in?  Or what city?

I did but it says nothing on if it’s expired.

Philadelphia county

Valid by definition means unexpired 

YMMV

Yes that’s why I’m worried. But Diane & Chris said they think it’s okay? I’m so confused with this😩🙏🏼

Maybe his valid DL but not the passport I would presume

Generally, a passport serves as evidence of identity even if it is expired. It is not valid for travel, though. But the specifics of the purpose it's being used for matter.

Thread is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the "Moving to the US" forum -- topic involves a stage beyond the K-1 process.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

If they say the documents he has are not acceptable, then Vegas is still an option. Clark County, NV would accept his Israeli driver license; https://www.clarkcountynv.gov/clerk/Documents/ID_Requirements.pdf:

Quote

Foreign government issued ID Card, including Driver’s License (must include birth date)
