Confidential Marriage License may be issued by an authorized
notary publics. When an unmarried man and an unmarried
woman (neither party can be a minor) have been living
together as husband and wife, they may be married under
Family Code 500:
1) The parties must
be at least 18 years of age;
2) The marriage license must have been issued in the
same county in which the license is been registered;
3) The marriage must take place and be recorded in the
county in which the license is issued. |

| Therefore,
even if you are a resident or residents of different state or
county, once you purchase license from us or use our services
for your wedding, your marriage will be recorded in the County
of Los Angeles. Important: Documentary evidence regarding
whether or not parties have been living together is not required
and is not demanded. However, the parties must understand
that they are stating under penalty of perjury that they have
been living together as husband and wife.
Civil Ceremonies
Civil Ceremonies are performed by officiants without any religious
denomination. Marriage License is valid for 90 days from the
day of issuance or as otherwise indicated on the license. You
must have your marriage solemnized within these 90 days by an
officiant (denominated or non-denominated, i.e. religious or
not religious) prior to registering it with the L.A. County
Registrar/Recorder’s Office. Civil Ceremony will satisfy
this requirement.
A Proxy marriage
A Proxy marriage is a marriage where the parties were not physically
present in the presence of each other. It also means that during
solemnization of the marriage someone stands for the other party
based upon a power of attorney or an agent acting on behalf
of one or both parties. Proxy marriages are absolutely illegal
in the State of California. |
