Marriage licenses expire. Generally, marriage certificates would not.

Marriage certificates from the United States do not expire. A lawyer in New York cannot say for sure that there is no such thing as an expiration of a marriage certificate if that certificate was issued by a foreign country since the law of that country would apply. However, it does seem very unlikely that such a thing would exist.

Marriage Certificates do not have expiration dates, they only terminate after "death do you part" (or upon divorce).
