Yes. You do not need to be a California resident to marry in California. To apply for a marriage license, both parties must appear in person and bring valid photo ID such as a drivers license, passport, state issued ID, etc. to the County Clerk's Office. Some counties may also require a copy of your birth certificate.
If you have been married before, you will need to know the specific date your last marriage ended, and how it ended (Death, Dissolution, Divorce or Nullity). Some counties may require a copy of the final judgment if your previous marriage ended by dissolution or nullity.
Marriage licenses are valid for 90 days from the date of issuance. If you do not get married within 90 days, the license will no longer be valid. You must purchase a new license.
The person solemnizing the marriage must return the original marriage license to the County Clerk or County Recorder as applicable within 10 days of the date of the ceremony.
Best of luck!

The license must be signed by the official who performs the marriage and the license must be returned to the clerk's department that issued it. If there is no marriage license there is no marriage.
Does Texas honor marriage licenses issued in California?
If you're talking about a marriage license--that is, the application to marry issued by the State of California--then no, you cannot use a California marriage license in Texas, you must be married in California. If you're talking about a California marriage certificate--the document that proves you were legally married in California--then yes, all U.S. states will recognize California marriages. Hope that helps!

You have to get married in the same state in which you obtained your marriage license. But you can apply for an Arizona marriage license if that is the state in which you have decided to get married. Just because you got a marriage license in one state doesn't mean you can't change your mind and apply to get married in a different state. But when you do get married, you have to have a marriage license in the state in which you get married. The marriage license is not recorded as a "done deal" until after the wedding, so it shouldn't be a problem.
