Less Than a Month Left to Get Legally Married Before 2025 Ends

As the final weeks of 2025 approach, couples across California are racing against the clock to legally marry before the year ends. Whether for tax filings, insurance enrollment, immigration timelines, housing eligibility, military benefits, or personal life goals, many realize they’re running out of time — and county clerk offices are either fully booked or unavailable for the rest of the year.

That’s where Get Married Today becomes the perfect solution.

We offer same-day marriage license issuance, immediate civil ceremonies, and instant filing, ensuring you’re legally married before the year turns to 2026 — even if you only have a few days or hours left.

Why Couples Need Legal Marriage Before 2025 Ends

1. IRS Tax Filing Status

You must be legally married on or before Dec. 31 to file as “married” for 2025.

2. Health Insurance Deadlines

Most employers lock their open enrollment near year-end.

3. Immigration Processes

Marriage documentation influences I-130 petitions, adjustments of status, and consular filings.

4. Military Benefits

BAH, DEERS, PCS spouse travel, and command sponsorship often require immediate proof of marriage.

5. Housing, Family, and Life Planning

Many deadlines depend on having a completed California marriage license.

6. January Ceremony — December Legal Marriage

Many couples plan the celebration later but need the legal marriage now.
