If I live in one county (Los Angeles) Can I get my marriage license there and get married in another county (Orange County) with no problems? Also any suggestions on when and how to go about it?
~A~
As long as you obtain a Regular or Public Marriage License in CA, it can be used anywhere in CA. This type of license is accessible by public record. However if you file for a Confidential or Private Marriage License, then the ceremony must be performed in that particular county and you must be cohabitating before the ceremony date. This type of license is not public record.
Some pointers:
- Go mid-week, it tends to be less busy
- Both you are your fiance must attend
- No blood test is needed
- Valid ID is required
- The license is valid for 90 days, so do not go to early
- Lastly, Make sure you request at least one copy of the final marriage certificate. The Clerk Recorder will give you a form upon applying for the license. Just fill it out completely and include a check for $13.00. Give the officiant/pastor/priest the form and the check along with your marriage license application. Doing this will ensure your marriage license was properly filed. If 1 month following your wedding you have not received a valid copy in the mail, I advise you call the Clerk Recorders office to check on the status.
