    There is no way to "void" a marriage without going to court. And a marriage in Alaska is valid anywhere.

    You need to divorce him if you are now not living together.

    You are the wife of a U.S. serviceman? Where are you located. Are you a non-U.S. national? Where were you married? Do you have children by your husband?

    Might not do any good to report him to the U.S. embassy.

    Report him to his commanding officer.

    Posts merged,

    It is also possible he is not moving posts, but you should have a dependent ID correct and visa to enter the country ? There is nothing stoping you from coming back.

    But obviously he wants a divorce so best to file for divorce and ask for your things back.

    But yes you can start with a local military base or embassy

    Can you obtain an Alaskan ID even if you're not a US citizen?

    Contact the nearest base and embassy, ask the base to re-issue you the ID, explain you have lost yours.

    Also give them the entire story, they will locate him for you, after they verify the facts

    Ok if you are merely a tourist you can not get a ID card since you are not a resident there.

    What country you are from, ( I guess you are on a tourist visa?? )

    So you will have your passport from your country which is a legal ID and should be accepted for anything you need in Alaska

    OK, so you need to change your immigration status.
    I would hire an immigration attorney. Since you should not have gotten married on a touist visa but needed to leave and have it changed to the correct visa to stay.
