You do not need to be a California resident to marry in California.

To marry in California, the two parties may not be already married to each other or other individuals.

Marriage by proxy is NOT allowed in California. Family Code, Section 420(a) requires the two parties, marriage officiant and witness if applicable, be physically present together in the same location for the marriage to be performed.

Blood tests are NOT required to obtain a marriage license in California.

Both parties must appear in person and bring valid picture identification to the County Clerk's Office to apply for a marriage license in California. Valid picture identification is one that contains a photograph, date of birth, and an issue and expiration date, such as a state issued identification card, drivers license, passport, military identification, etc. 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.

Every County has its own rules and regulations about issuing marriage licenses. In Wisconsin, for instance, you can get your marriage license from the County Clerk in the County where at least one of the applicants have lived for more than 30 days or from the County Clerk in the County where the ceremony will be held. Using the free website "Vital Statistic Records Resources" you can access each of the States and then scroll to your specific County for a direct link or contact information for "Marriage Licenses."

No. Both parties must appear in person at the Marriage License Bureau of the Wills/Orphans' Court Division in any county of Pennsylvania to apply for a marriage license. The marriage license can be used anywhere in Pennsylvania. There is a three-day waiting period between the date applicants apply for a marriage license and when the license may be issued. The marriage license is valid for 60 days from the date it is issued and may be picked up from the Marriage License Bureau by either of the applicants, a friend or a relative.

Unless you are living in a country who allows you to be married to more than one partner, you are commiting a crime! God does not condone such action!

The license needs to be for the location of the wedding. That is the jurisdiction necessary.

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.
