If you’re in love, ready to say “I do,” but don’t want to wait, don’t stress about gathering witnesses. In Orange County, California, a Confidential Marriage License makes it possible to get legally married without needing a witness at all — and our team at Get Married Today makes the entire process simple, fast, and private.
Whether you’re planning a spontaneous elopement, a same-day legal ceremony, or just want your wedding to remain discreet, this option is perfect for couples who want a private, efficient, and stress-free marriage experience.
✅ What Is a Confidential Marriage License?
A confidential marriage license is a legal document issued by the state of California that allows two people to get married without the presence of any witnesses, unlike the public marriage license which requires at least one. Here’s what makes it unique:
- No witness required at the ceremony
- No public record of the marriage
- Must be conducted in the county where the license was issued
- Must be between two consenting adults who are already living together
💡 Need notarization or document support? Your Local Notary Public offers fast, mobile notarization for marriage-related forms.
💍 Why Choose a Confidential License?
Many couples are surprised to learn this option even exists. Confidential marriage licenses are ideal for:
- Couples without available witnesses
- Immigrant couples needing privacy
- Military couples marrying quickly before deployment
- Partners wanting a private legal union before a larger celebration
- LGBTQ+ couples seeking discretion
With a confidential marriage license, you can get married today — no courthouse, no waiting in line, and no stress about finding someone to sign your paperwork.
✅ Get Married Today is an authorized issuer of confidential marriage licenses and can legally marry you the same day in our private offices or scenic beach locations.
