Get Married In California​

At Get Married Today, we specialize in making the dream of legal marriage simple, fast, and stress-free—no matter where you live. Whether you’re from another U.S. state or a different country entirely, our service is tailored to help couples get married quickly in California without the complications of a courthouse or lengthy paperwork delays. We offer same-day marriage license issuance and wedding ceremonies, so you can walk in unmarried and walk out legally wed—all in one visit.

No California Residency Required to Marry Here

California does not require you to be a resident of the state to apply for a marriage license. This is a major advantage for out-of-state or international couples. According to the California Department of Public Health, any two unmarried adults can apply for a marriage license and get married in California. Our team at Get Married Today handles the entire license application process on your behalf, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.

We Help International Couples Get Legally Married in the U.S.

If you’re visiting the United States or planning a destination wedding, California is an ideal location. Our wedding professionals are experienced in working with international couples who may need apostille certification for their marriage documents. We coordinate with Orange County Apostille to ensure your marriage certificate can be used in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. This is especially helpful for those planning to register their U.S. marriage abroad.

Same-Day Legal Weddings with No Wait Time

Many states have a waiting period between applying for a marriage license and holding the ceremony. California does not. At Get Married Today, we issue your confidential marriage license and conduct a legally binding ceremony the same day. There’s no need to wait, no need to visit a courthouse, and no need to worry about judicial availability. Just bring valid ID, and we handle the rest—even on weekends and holidays.

We Serve Couples Anywhere—Home, Hotel, Beach, or Park

Are you staying in Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, or even a small town in California? We travel to you. Our licensed officiants and mobile marriage license services make it possible to get married at your Airbnb, hospital bed, hotel suite, beach, or backyard. See our mobile marriage services page for details on how we bring the ceremony and license directly to you—anywhere in Southern California.

Perfect for Military, Immigration, and Emergency Marriages

Many of our clients are active military personnel stationed out of state or overseas, as well as couples who need to marry urgently for immigration or legal reasons. We offer expedited support for those filing an I-130, applying for spousal visas, or needing official documentation for benefits. Visit our military marriage services and immigration marriage services pages to learn how we help you meet urgent deadlines without delays.

Don’t Speak English? We Speak Your Language.

Language should never be a barrier to love. Our officiants and customer service team are fluent in Spanish and can accommodate interpreters for other languages upon request. We regularly assist international couples from Mexico, Brazil, the Philippines, and beyond. Visit our Spanish-language page to see how we simplify the process for couples more comfortable in Spanish.

Private, Legal, and Recognized Marriages Without the Courthouse

Privacy matters to many couples. Whether you’re a high-profile individual or just prefer discretion, our confidential marriage license option allows you to keep your marital record private. This is ideal for elopements, secret weddings, or second marriages. Read more about confidential marriage licenses and how they protect your privacy.

We Handle the Apostille and Certified Copy Requests for You

If you’re returning to your home country or need proof of marriage for legal purposes abroad, we’ll request the certified copy of your marriage certificate and obtain the apostille on your behalf. We coordinate with the California Secretary of State and other agencies to expedite the process. This is essential for international recognition of your U.S. marriage.
