What is a Civil Marriage?
A civil marriage is a legally recognized union conducted by an officiant authorized by the state, without any religious affiliations. It is ideal for couples who:
• Want a simple, legal marriage ceremony
• Require a marriage certificate for immigration, benefits, or legal purposes
• Prefer an alternative to a traditional or religious wedding
• Need a confidential, private ceremony without witnesses
Civil marriages are just as legally binding as religious or formal ceremonies. To learn more about civil marriages in California, visit California Courts.
