How do you marry an inmate in another state?

Answer 1

In California, before the County Recorder will issue a marriage license, they require three (3) identifications. These identifications will be from the bride, groom and the officiant who will be performing the wedding ceremony. The IDs must be original, valid, and in good condition. Then you must obtain an "Inability to Appear" package from the County Recorder, or we can mail, fax or email this package to you. The package consists of the "Procedures for obtaining a marriage license when one party is unable to appear", the "Affidavit of Inability to Appear" form, and the "Marriage License Application." The notary will have the incarcerated person sign both the affidavit of inability to appear and the marriage license application. The inability to appear form must be notarized. (For Men's Central Jail, it is suggested, if possible, that you get his signature notarized at his court hearing). After this process, the bride or groom, and the officiant, must appear together at the County Recorder with all 3 valid IDs, the notarized inability to appear form, and the completed and signed marriage license application. The request for the marriage license is processed, the required license fee is paid, and the marriage license is issued the same day if you arrive early enough. Once you have your marriage license, you can pick a date and follow the facility's procedures for inmate weddings. After being approved, notify the wedding officiant of the date, time and facility that you would like the wedding ceremony to take place. The officiant will show up at the facility on the date and time you have chosen and perform your wedding ceremony. The wedding ceremony usually takes place during normal visiting hours through glass. After the ceremony, the officiant will complete the wedding license and file it with the County Recorder. After the filing of your marriage license/certificate, a certified copy of your marriage license/certification can be obtained after 6 to 8 weeks of the filing. Expedited service of your license/certificate is available through Express Mail. This request must be made at the same time the marriage license/certificate is being turned in to the County Recorder by the officiant. Please call us at 1.888.400.7671 for more information.
