Call a clerk at your local courthouse and ask about documentary requirements for a bride and groom applying for a marriage license.

Even if married, he may not be able to become legal - it depends on how did he enter the USA (did he come with a visa, when, from what country), etc. Before marrying him, you should plan ahead and see if he can be eligibile for adjustment of status or whether he will remain "illegal" even after marriage (or will need to go back to his country to apply for a visa), which can affect your family life in the future.
