Get Married Today: Legal Civil Marriage Services in California for Just $350 — Same Day with Valid ID
When love can’t wait, neither should your marriage license. At Get Married Today, we specialize in civil and legal marriage services across Southern California, offering couples a convenient and affordable way to become legally married on the same day — for just $350. Unlike the traditional courthouse process, which often requires appointments, long waits, and limited availability, our team is authorized to issue marriage licenses and perform ceremonies the same day you book, including evenings, weekends, and even holidays.
All you need is a valid government-issued ID — no complicated paperwork, no courthouse lines, no waiting period. We are authorized officials recognized by the County Clerk’s Office and the State of California, which means your marriage will be 100% legal, binding, and properly filed with the county for official records.
Whether you are eloping for love, planning a private ceremony, or need an urgent marriage for immigration, military, or legal purposes, Get Married Today ensures the process is smooth, professional, and stress-free.
Why Choose Get Married Today for Your Legal Marriage?
Couples often think their only option to get legally married is to go through the courthouse. While that’s true for some, California law also allows for authorized notaries and officials — like us — to issue marriage licenses and officiate legal marriages outside of the courthouse. This makes the process significantly more flexible and accessible.
Here are the key reasons couples turn to us:
- Same-Day Service — Guaranteed With us, you don’t wait weeks for an appointment. You can walk in (or book online), present your valid ID, pay the $350 service fee, and leave legally married — all in the same day.
- Authorized & Legal We are authorized by both the County Clerk’s Office and the State of California to issue marriage licenses and officiate marriages. That means your marriage will be legally recognized in California, across the U.S., and even internationally with proper documentation.
- Affordable Price — Just $350 For one flat fee, you get your marriage license, legal officiation, and official filing with the county. No hidden charges, no unnecessary extras.
- Valid ID is All You Need Whether you bring a driver’s license, passport, state ID, or military ID, that’s all we require to issue your marriage license and perform your ceremony.
- Flexible Locations We can marry you at our office, at a local chapel, or even at your chosen location — a beach, park, or even your home.
- Fast Documentation We file your marriage license directly with the county clerk, and you’ll receive your official marriage certificate by mail in just a few weeks.
The Legal Authority of Get Married Today
One of the most common questions couples ask is: “Is this really legal?”
The answer is yes, absolutely.
Our team consists of Deputy Commissioners of Civil Marriage and Notary Public officials who are authorized under California Family Code and the County Clerk’s Office to:
- Issue marriage licenses
- Perform marriage ceremonies
- File licenses directly with the county
This means you do not need to go through the courthouse at all. Your marriage will be entered into the county’s official record, and your marriage certificate will be issued by the county — just as if you had gone through the courthouse.
