When deployment orders arrive, military couples often need to get legally married fast—sometimes within just a few days or even the same day. At GetMarried.Today, we specialize in military fast-track marriage services, offering immediate support for service members who need a same-day marriage license, private ceremony, and certified copies for DEERS, BAS/BAH, housing, spousal benefits, and command verification.
Our military marriage process is designed around speed, privacy, and accuracy—providing a reliable alternative to overcrowded county clerks and unavailable courthouse appointments.
Why Military Couples Need Fast-Track Marriage Options
Active duty service members frequently face unique situations such as rapid deployment, PCS orders, base relocation, and changes in benefits eligibility. Many need to be legally married quickly to secure:
- Command-approved leave
- On-base housing eligibility
- DEERS enrollment
- Military ID card issuance
- BAH with dependents rates
- Emergency contact updates
- Overseas PCS spousal authorization
- Tricare spouse coverage
Courthouse availability is unpredictable, especially during holidays and peak seasons. This is why many troops choose same-day military marriage services instead of waiting weeks for county appointments.
Same-Day Marriage License Issued On-Site
Unlike the courthouse, where appointments may be booked for weeks, we are authorized to issue a California Confidential Marriage License immediately. This military-friendly license requires:
- No witness
- No courthouse appointment
- No waiting period
- Full confidentiality
This is especially helpful for couples needing urgent marriage appointments due to deployment or PCS.
Private Marriage Ceremony for Military Couples
Every service member deserves a respectful, meaningful ceremony—without the stress of long lines or crowded hallways. Our private wedding ceremonies are designed for:
- Last-minute deployments
- Evening and weekend needs
- Holiday closures
- Privacy for sensitive situations
- Immigration-related military marriages
- Couples without available witnesses
- Troops on limited leave
We also offer beautiful micro-wedding packages for couples wanting something more personal than a courthouse wedding.
Deployment Deadlines Require an Immediate Marriage Certificate
For deployment paperwork, command verification, and spousal updates, military members often need certified marriage certificate copies within days. After the ceremony, we file your license quickly so you can order:
- Certified marriage certificate
- Apostille for overseas bases through military document legalization
- Notarized duplicate copies when needed
For international PCS postings, you may also need apostille services, following rules published by the U.S. Department of State and Hague Convention Apostille Guide.
Military Benefits That Require a Legal Marriage Certificate
A legal marriage certificate is required for:
- DEERS enrollment (Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System)
- Tricare coverage
- BAH with dependents
- Command sponsorship for overseas PCS
- Emergency contact designation
- Life insurance updates (SGLI)
- Spousal access to base housing
- Navy/Army/Air Force/Marines spouse benefits
Official instructions can be found on:
We provide the legal documents needed to complete these updates quickly.
Perfect for Military + Immigration Cases
Many military couples also need fast marriages for USCIS applications. We support weddings required for:
- I-130 Petition for Alien Relative
- I-485 Adjustment of Status
- I-765 Work Permit
- I-131 Advance Parole
- Consular processing
This makes our service ideal for dual-purpose military/immigration timelines.
Open Weekends, Holidays, and After Hours
Courthouse hours are limited, but deployment orders are not. We offer:
- Evening ceremonies
- Weekend ceremonies
- Holiday ceremonies
- Last-minute emergency ceremonies
Our same-day marriage service ensures you can marry at the time you need—not when the government offices happen to be open.
Beautiful Alternative to Courthouse Weddings
Instead of a noisy, rushed government office, you can enjoy:
- A private ceremony
- A romantic indoor/outdoor setting
- Photography options
- Personalized vows
- A professional wedding officiant
- A stress-free environment
This is why military couples love our courthouse wedding alternative options.
What You Need to Bring
To get married fast, you only need:
- Valid ID (military ID, passport, driver license, or state ID)
You do not need:
- Witnesses
- A courthouse appointment
- Long paperwork
- Birth certificates
