It is your responsibility to obtain a marriage license prior to the wedding. Information can be found on any County Clerk/Recorder websites. The license will only be valid for 90 days, so don't obtain it too early.  (Information adapted from web resources for your convenience).

Marriage License Requirements:
  • Both partners must be 18 years or older and be present to apply.
  • Valid picture identification.
  • Parents full birth names, including mother's maiden name
  • State or country of birth of parents
  • Date of dissolution of most recent previous marriage (a divorce certificate must be presented).
  • No blood tests are required.
  • You do not have to be a California resident to marry in California.
  • There is no waiting period between receipt of a marriage license and the ceremony.
  • Minors, emancipated minors included, cannot be licensed to marry in California without a parent's written consent and a Superior Court Order.
  • It is your responsibility to get the marriage license. I cannot do that for you.
