The couple are said to be planning to tie the knot in New York.

A US magazine reported the couple had taken out a marriage licence for the state, which must be used within two months.

But friends have said they did not want to wait any longer to use it.

Beyoncé, 26, and Jay-Z, 38, have been dating since 2002, though the couple have been reluctant to discuss their relationship publicly.

Beyonce and her rap star boyfriend Jay Z have reportedly obtained a marriage licence in New York, which is valid for just 60 days, renewing speculation the couple will wed this year

Rumours about their romance began circulating after the singer appeared on Jay-Z's song 'Bonnie & Clyde' followed by collaborations on Beyoncé's solo hit 'Crazy in Love' in 2003.

While the two have remained tight-lipped about the state of their romance, by no means has Beyoncé brushed off talk of marriage.

In December 2006, the singer told InStyle, "You can't rush a man into anything – whether it's a relationship, marriage or having children."

Earlier that month the pair were besieged by rumours that they would wed in the Caribbean – a rumour that was quickly shot down by their publicists.

Beyoncé's spokesperson declined to confirm or deny the story.
