1. Introduction: Yes, You Can Get Married Today

If you’ve been asking, “How can I get married today?” — you’re in the right place. Whether it’s for love, military deployment, immigration purposes, spousal health insurance, or simply because you’re ready to take the leap, Get Married Today offers legal, same-day marriage services in California — with no courthouse required.

Forget the long waits, red tape, and delayed government office appointments. Our team issues legal marriage licenses on-site and performs your wedding ceremony the same day. Open 24/7, including weekends and holidays, we make your urgent marriage needs our top priority.

2. Step-by-Step Guide: How to Get Married Today

Step 1: Schedule Your Appointment

Visit https://getmarried.today and book your same-day appointment. Choose your time, location, and let us know if you need both the license and the ceremony.

Step 2: Bring Valid Identification

You’ll need a government-issued photo ID — a valid driver’s license, passport, military ID, or other acceptable identification.

Step 3: Complete the Marriage License Application

We’ll help you complete the confidential marriage license application. No witnesses are required, and it will not become public record.

Step 4: Get Your License On the Spot

As authorized notaries and license agents, we issue your legal marriage license on-site — skipping the county clerk altogether.

Step 5: Say “I Do” — Right Away

We can officiate your wedding immediately after issuing your license. Choose to have a brief civil-style ceremony or customize your vows.

Step 6: Receive Legal Proof of Marriage

We’ll file your marriage license with the county registrar and help you obtain certified copies. Need an apostille for international use? We’ve got you covered.

3. What You’ll Need: Documents and ID Requirements

To get married today, both parties must present:

A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID
Full legal names
Place of birth (state or country)
Parent names (full birth names)

What if I Don’t Have My ID?

You may still be able to get married today using alternative documents, such as:

Expired passport + social security card
Military ID with additional proof
Notarized affidavits if approved

Call us immediately if you’re unsure — we’ll walk you through your options.

4. Can I Get a Marriage License and Ceremony on the Same Day?

Yes! With Get Married Today, you don’t have to make multiple trips or appointments.

Unlike government offices that require appointments and waiting periods, we are legally authorized to issue confidential marriage licenses and conduct your ceremony in one visit.

✅ No wait time
✅ No witnesses required
✅ Valid throughout California
✅ Legal worldwide (with apostille)

5. Skip the Courthouse: Private Marriage License Issuance

Courthouses are often closed on weekends and holidays, and they don’t issue licenses outside of office hours. But Get Married Today isn’t bound by those limitations.

We provide:

Private, stress-free environments
24/7 availability
Mobile and in-office options
Legally binding marriage licenses issued directly by our authorized notaries

Whether you’re eloping, urgently filing for a visa, or facing a deadline, our private service saves you time and stress.

6. Who Can Officiate a Marriage on the Same Day?

Our team of licensed, legal wedding officiants is available on demand to marry you today.

Choose from:

Simple civil ceremonies
Religious or spiritual language (upon request)
Elopement-style services
In-home, park, hotel, or private venue weddings

We’ll come to you, or you can say “I do” in one of our Orange County wedding chapels.
