Answer by  rebecca0515 (434)

Getting a California marriage license is not a difficult process, but it can be time consuming if not planned in advance.You will need to go to the county clerk's office.An appointment is recommended to avoid long lines. You will then need to present proof of residency and birth certificates for both parties. Driver's licenses are considered proof of residency.

First of all, call the California County or City Clerk's office to make an appointment unless you would rather sit in line for hours. You must have a valid picture I.D., proof of divorce from any prior marriage. If you are under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must sign for you. California residence is not required.
