Add Ons are optional shop items that enhance or complement your primary Get Married Today booking. They’re selected from the Add Ons category and designed to fit into the same-day workflow. Add Ons may improve ceremony presentation, streamline appointment logistics, or support documentation planning. They do not replace the legal marriage steps. Think of them as “extras” that reduce stress or add meaning.

No—Add Ons are optional. Your legal marriage is completed through your primary booking and must meet the requirements on Marriage Requirements. Add Ons can make the experience smoother or more personalized, but they don’t change eligibility. If you’re unsure what to book, choose your main service first. Then add extras that match your goals.

Add Ons are intended to pair with a primary booking so they can be applied to your appointment or post-filing workflow. Some Add Ons depend on your date, location, or service type. If you purchase an Add On, make sure it matches the service you selected. For best results, book your main service first in the shop.

The most current list is on the catalog page: Add Ons. Because options can change over time, the category page is the best place to confirm what is available. Each product description explains how it’s used (during the appointment vs after filing). Choose items that match your service type (office, balcony, or mobile).

No. Add Ons do not change legal requirements or eligibility rules. Both parties must have valid government-issued photo ID and must be coherent enough to consent. If legal requirements aren’t met, service may be refused or rescheduled regardless of Add Ons. Add Ons are meant to enhance logistics and experience, not override legal rules.

It means both parties must understand what’s happening, answer basic questions, and consent voluntarily at the time of signing and ceremony. This protects couples and ensures the marriage is legally valid. If a person cannot demonstrate informed consent, the marriage cannot proceed. Add Ons do not affect this requirement. Plan your appointment for a time when both parties can participate clearly.

Many Add Ons are designed for same-day workflows, but availability depends on timing and the specific item. Some Add Ons require extra preparation or scheduling and may not be feasible on short notice. If you are booking same-day, choose Add Ons that clearly fit a fast timeline. Always prioritize the correct primary service first. Then add the extras that won’t slow the process.

Some Add Ons add extra steps (planning, ceremony elements, documentation tasks), which can increase appointment time. Others are minimal and won’t change timing. Product descriptions usually indicate whether an Add On is appointment-time or post-appointment. If you have a tight schedule, choose streamlined Add Ons. Your main service choice determines the baseline workflow.

Many Add Ons can pair with mobile services, depending on what’s listed in the catalog. Mobile-friendly Add Ons typically focus on convenience, documentation planning, or simple ceremony upgrades. Some items may be office-only or venue-specific, so check the product details. Mobile services also have location considerations and logistics. Always match the Add On to your service format.

Certified copies are issued by the county after the record is filed, so Add Ons do not replace county issuance. Some Add Ons may support guidance on certified copy timelines or help you plan what to request. If a third party requires a “certified copy,” you will need the county-issued document. Temporary proof may help for some situations while waiting. Always follow the receiving agency’s policy.

Add Ons can support planning when you need proof quickly for benefits, housing, or administrative deadlines. However, acceptance is controlled by the receiving organization (HR, landlord, insurer). Many organizations eventually require certified copies. For a deeper explanation, review What Is Proof of Marriage?. Add Ons can reduce confusion but can’t change external requirements.

Add Ons can help you plan, but international use typically requires certified copies and often apostille or legalization. Apostille is usually done after certified copies are issued. Many couples use Orange County Apostille for marriage certificate apostille workflows. Requirements vary by destination country, so planning ahead is key. Add Ons support readiness but do not replace apostille/legalization.

Some Add Ons may support documentation readiness and help you plan for certified copies. Immigration processes typically require certified copies and can involve specific formatting requirements. Add Ons cannot guarantee acceptance by USCIS or any authority. For immigration-related services content, see Marriage for Immigration Purposes. For legal advice, consult an attorney.

No. Add Ons support logistics, planning, and experience enhancements, but they do not provide legal advice. If you need legal guidance for immigration, taxes, or complex legal questions, consult a licensed attorney. The goal of Add Ons is to make the process smoother and more personalized. Legal validity still depends on proper identification, consent, and completion of required steps.

Add Ons can pair with holiday bookings when services are available, but not every Add On may be feasible during high-demand dates. If you are planning a holiday appointment, focus on essential items that do not require extra coordination. Review Get Legally Married on Holidays for the broader context. Add Ons should support speed, not slow it down. Choose wisely for time-sensitive scenarios.

Refundability depends on the Add On type and whether it has been initiated, scheduled, or fulfilled. Some Add Ons may be non-refundable once preparation begins. Always review checkout terms and product descriptions. If your plans change, prioritize adjusting the primary booking first, then address Add Ons based on their fulfillment status. Policies vary by item and scenario.

No. Third-party acceptance depends on their internal policy and what they require as proof. Some organizations accept temporary proof while waiting for certified copies; others insist on certified copies immediately. Add Ons can help you prepare and reduce friction, but they cannot override third-party rules. If you have a deadline, ask the receiving party what exact document they require. Then plan accordingly.

Start by deciding your main goal: a more polished ceremony, documentation readiness, scheduling convenience, or international planning. Next, confirm your primary booking type in the shop. Then choose Add Ons that fit that service format (office vs mobile). If you have strict timelines, prioritize simplicity and speed. The best Add Ons reduce stress for your specific scenario.

Confirm both parties have valid government-issued photo ID and can consent freely at appointment time. Ensure names and details will be entered accurately to avoid delays. Review the primary service you selected and confirm it matches your needs (license-only, ceremony-only, or license + ceremony). If you expect to need proof quickly, read What Is Proof of Marriage?. Preparation is the fastest way to a smooth same-day experience.

Review the complete guide and one-day steps pages for an overview of how licensing, ceremony, and filing fit together: Complete Guide and One-Day Steps. Also review Marriage Requirements to confirm eligibility. Once your main service is clear, Add Ons become easy to choose. For international document needs, plan for certified copies and apostille after filing.
