Obtaining a Same-Sex Wedding License in California

You have several options when coming to California to get married. Not all county offices that issue licenses can marry you on the spot. Some offices do not conduct marriages so you need to find out in advance before you go to the recorder office.

Your best bet is to use a Notary Public that is authorized to issue the Los Angeles County Marriage License. We are able to issue the license and marry you on the spot.

You will need to provide a valid photo ID when you file for the license. If you have gotten a divorce within the last two years, you will also need official proof of that. California does not require a health check or blood test.

Los Angeles County offices are expecting large crowds

The LA County offices are expecting large crowds and a crush of media.
If you would like to have a private ceremony devoid of all the crowds and media give us a call.

Cherished Vows will be ready to meet the increased demand for Civil & Religious marriage ceremonies and license applications on June 16, when the recent state Supreme Court ruling overturning a same-sex marriage ban will take effect.

The county offices only perform civil ceremonies and if you would like a religious ceremony you will need to use a chapel like Cherished Vows in Torrance.

Official says L.A. County will be ready for gay marriages

The county clerk says ceremonies could begin June 16, the first possible day that the state Supreme Court's ruling allowing same-sex marriages could take effect.

By Jean-Paul Renaud, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer 1:27 PM PDT, May 20, 2008

Acting Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan told county supervisors today that his office would be ready to perform same-sex marriages on June 16.That is the earliest date on which the state Supreme Court's overturning of the ban on same-sex marriages could take effect.

Logan said he would extend the corps of volunteers needed to officiate at marriages, and would seek to open new offices to facilitate the ceremonies."We expect that when the decision goes into effect, that there will be an initial peak in the volume of people coming into our office," he said. "We want to be sure we're prepared for that. We want to make sure we're staffed up for that."Logan said he already has received a request from city officials in West Hollywood to have the county open a marriage-license office there.

"It's also possible that they may have somebody in their own staff" to perform the ceremonies, Logan said.Supervisors have also asked Logan to convene an advisory group with gay community leaders to get a better handle on the numbers of couples expected to seek licenses.The Sheriff's Department and the Office of Public Safety, which protects county buildings, also have been asked to provide extra security during the first few weeks the marriages are permitted.Last week, justices struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage in a broadly worded decision that would invalidate virtually any law that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation.Officials said it would be at least 30 days from the court's action before marriage licenses could be issued. But opponents could ask the court to rehear the case. Even if the court declined, such a request could delay the effective date by up to 90 days.

More reasons to get a Confidential Marriage License...

♥Are you planning to get married in a foreign country like Mexico, France or Italy? Some countries have strict requirements and residency restrictions. Avoid the hassle and get married before you leave.

♥You and your spouse are the only ones that can get a copy of the recorded license. This protects your privacy and prevents anyone from obtaining a copy. So often recorded documents wind up on tabloid websites. You can avoid this by getting married with a confidential marriage license.

♥Often you do not want a former spouse to know you have remarried.

♥You are planning a church wedding but need to get married now for health insurance coverage.

♥For tax reasons, before the birth of a baby or you are purchasing a home.

♥So you can change your name on your passport before you travel on your honeymoon. Often brides would like to change their names before they travel so they have the same name as their new husband. If you are divorced you may not want the former spouses name on your passport, airline tickets etc.

♥You are planning a church wedding here or in your home country but need to start the immigration process. Get married now and with the Express mail option you will have your certified copy in 2 weeks. You will need that certified copy for your Immigration appointment.

♥You are being deployed and want to marry your sweetheart before you leave. To change your Status you will also need the Express mail option. When you receive the certified copy you present it to your commanding officer. We offer this for FREE to all active military. It is our way of saying thanks to all the Armed Forces.
