Marriage License Information
To obtain a marriage license, both the prospective bride and groom must appear together at the Clerk-Recorder's Office of their county of choice. A blood test is not required. The couple must be an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, both 18 years of age or older. Each person must present a valid picture ID (driver's license, green card, or passport). If either party has been granted a divorce within 90 days of applying for a new marriage license, a copy of the final divorce decree must be presented at the time of issue.
This license is valid for 90 days and can be used anywhere in California. If the license expires unused, another license must be purchased. You are not married until a marriage ceremony is performed and the license is completed and properly recorded.
Each county has it's own fee schedule for marriage license applications and certified copies of marriage licenses. For additional information, we have listed the websites of a few of our local county recorder offices for your convenience. These websites offer office hours, application locations, fee schedules and other pertinent information.
