Get Married Without Fear: Safe, Private Marriage Services for Those Avoiding Government Buildings During Immigration Protests

In times of political unrest or social protests—especially those surrounding immigration laws—many individuals and couples feel anxious about entering government buildings. Whether it’s fear of confrontation, safety concerns, or immigration status anxiety, you’re not alone. At Get Married Today, we understand your concerns. That’s why we offer a safe, secure, and private alternative to courthouse marriages, making it easy to get legally married without stepping foot into a government building.

If current immigration protests or policies are causing hesitation or stress about accessing marriage services, this guide is for you. We’ll explain how you can safely and legally get married today—without risking exposure, without entering a courthouse, and with complete peace of mind.

1. You Don’t Have to Go to a Courthouse to Get Married

Traditional marriage in the U.S. often requires couples to visit a county clerk’s office to obtain a marriage license, then return again for a civil ceremony or to file paperwork. But when there are political demonstrations, media attention, and heightened security at these buildings, many couples—especially immigrants, mixed-status couples, or people with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)—fear these encounters.

At Get Married Today, we eliminate the need to go anywhere near a courthouse. Our team is authorized to issue a legal California marriage license outside of a government building. We can meet you at a safe, private location—your home, a hotel, a park, or even a hospital room—and handle the entire process, from license issuance to the legally binding ceremony and official filing with the County Clerk.

2. Why People Avoid Government Buildings During Immigration Protests

Immigration-related protests often involve increased police presence, unpredictable crowds, and media exposure. For many people—especially those in vulnerable legal or social positions—this is not just uncomfortable. It can feel life-altering.

Here are some of the main reasons people choose not to enter government buildings during times of protest:

Fear of detainment or deportation
Fear of being asked for identification or legal documentation
Concerns over being photographed or documented in a public space
Anxiety from previous experiences with government agencies
Desire to stay out of politically charged environments

If any of these resonate with you or your partner, you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck. Our marriage service provides an accessible, non-threatening alternative.

3. Confidential Marriage License Option for Added Privacy

California is one of the few states that offers a confidential marriage license, which offers added legal and personal protections:

No witness is required
The license is not searchable in public records
You do not need to appear in a courthouse
Only the couple can request certified copies of the marriage certificate

Our team at Get Married Today specializes in confidential licenses and can issue and file everything for you—same day.

We proudly serve U.S. citizens, green card holders, visa holders, undocumented immigrants, DACA recipients, and people in mixed-status relationships.

We do not report to immigration authorities, and we do not ask intrusive questions beyond what is required to file your marriage license legally. If you’re nervous about your immigration status or your partner’s, we will walk you through every step in a private setting—without fear, judgment, or risk.

5. Avoiding Protest Zones Doesn’t Mean Delaying Your Marriage

Many couples are putting off their marriage plans simply because they don’t want to go near a courthouse. But delaying your marriage could delay access to vital immigration benefits such as:

Spousal sponsorship for a green card
Legal protection through marriage-based adjustment of status
Employment authorization
Spousal medical insurance
Housing and financial aid through military or government channels
