Can a common law marriage from Texas be legally recognized in Louisiana?

My fiance and I just got a declaration of informal marriage from the county clerks office here in Texas. His job is based out of Louisiana and they are telling us that because they don’t recognize common law marriages they can’t add me to his insurance. I read up on Texas common law and found out it’s as legal as a real marriage, if we split we’d have to go through a divorce and everything. So shouldn’t it be recognized as legally binding in other states?

Kate asked:
We would like to marry in the US and deal with our visa application later as a married couple. Do his documents of birth and divorce require apostille from his country of origin to be accepted by the county clerk’s office where we wish to marry in the US? Additionally, does he need a social security number? I noticed the State of Texas asks for this information on their marriage license application. Thanks.
