When couples in Orange County think about getting legally married, many immediately picture long lines at the county courthouse, limited appointment slots, and waiting weeks for an available date. But what if you could get legally married today — without stepping foot inside a government building?

At GetMarried.Today, we make it possible for couples to obtain a same-day legal civil marriage anywhere in Orange County — whether at our private office, your home, the beach, or even a hospital room. Our authorized officiants and mobile notaries handle every part of the process, ensuring your marriage is fully legal, confidential, and fast.

💍 Why Choose a Civil Marriage Outside the Courthouse?

A civil marriage is a legally recognized marriage performed by an authorized officiant, without the need for a religious ceremony. In California, licensed officiants like those at Get Married Today are empowered to both issue and file marriage licenses, which means you can complete everything in one visit — no courthouse, no waiting.

Key benefits include:

  • No courthouse appointment required
  • Same-day issuance and ceremony — even on weekends or holidays
  • Private and convenient locations of your choice
  • Bilingual officiants available (English & Spanish)
  • Certified filing directly with the county
  • Optional Apostille service for international use (through Orange County Apostille)
  • On-site notarization if needed (through Your Local Notary Public)

🕊️ Who Can Get a Civil Marriage in California?

California allows any two adults (18 or older) to be married as long as both parties:

  • Present valid government-issued ID
  • Are currently unmarried
  • Are not related by blood closer than first cousins
  • Provide mutual consent

You do not need to be a California resident or U.S. citizen — many international couples marry in California and later request an Apostille for use abroad.
