We’re Still Operating During Government Shutdown & ICE Raids

GetMarried.Today keeps couples moving forward — even when federal services pause or enforcement actions create uncertainty. Our mobile officiants and Deputy Commissioners issue California marriage licenses, perform private elopements, notarize, request certified copies, and coordinate apostille — all in one streamlined, same-day workflow.

What “Still Operating” Means for You

We issue California marriage licenses as authorized Deputy Commissioners of Civil Marriages.

We perform legal ceremonies anywhere: courthouse alternatives, homes, hospitals, hotels, bases, beaches.

We file your license and can request certified copies, then coordinate apostille if needed for international use.

Discreet, private elopements available — including after-hours and holidays — with mobile service to you.

Mobile License Issuance

We travel to you with all required paperwork. Fast ID checks, accurate forms, clear next steps.

On-Site Ceremony

Legal officiation on the spot. Choose a simple script or bring your vows — witnesses optional (we can provide).

Proof & Apostille

We help you obtain certified copies and apostille for use abroad. One provider, end-to-end.

How We Operate During a Shutdown

1) License Issuance — County-authorized workflows continue at the local level; our Deputy Commissioners issue licenses under California law.
2) Ceremony & Filing — We perform your legal ceremony, complete the license, and ensure timely filing with the county.
3) Certified Copies — We request certified copies from the county; timing varies by county operations but we guide you through options.
4) Apostille & International — If you need recognition abroad, our Orange County Apostille team coordinates state/federal/consular steps.

Privacy, Safety & Discretion

We prioritize your privacy with private locations, rapid scheduling, and minimal on-site footprint. We do not provide legal advice. If you have immigration questions, consult qualified counsel; we’ll focus on your marriage workflow and documentation accuracy.
