Understanding Dual Citizenship and Legal Marriage in California
If one or both partners hold dual citizenship, it’s important to ensure your marriage is legally recognized in California, the United States, and any other country where you may reside or claim citizenship. A marriage performed under California law is valid in all 50 states and can be recognized internationally if properly registered and certified.
Many embassies, consulates, and immigration offices require:
- A certified marriage certificate
- An apostille (if your other country is in the Hague Convention)
- A translation into the official language of the foreign country
We provide all of these services — fast, easy, and legally compliant.
What You Need to Get Legally Married as a Dual Citizen Couple
To legally marry with us in California (including Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside Counties), you’ll need:
- Valid government-issued ID from one or both countries (passport, driver’s license, consular ID)
- Divorce decree or death certificate if previously married
- Full legal names of both birth parents
- Be at least 18 years old (or court approval for minors)
- Both parties must be present (unless using a valid proxy marriage for unique cases)
