(Please be advised that I am not an attorney, and provide this answer based on knowledge of Los Angeles County marriage license issuance policy and experience as a wedding industry professional.) You must be unmarried or legally divorced in order for a California marriage to be valid; if you were not legally divorced but remarried anyway, the second marriage would not be considered valid. Couples in this circumstance are sometimes advised to annul the current marriage, complete the legal divorce, then remarry after the divorce is final. Be sure to obtain written proof your divorce is final! Every California county has different rules about what proof they require in order to obtain a marriage license--here in Los Angeles County you must present proof of dissolution if you were divorced within the last two years, but in Orange County only if you were divorced within the last ninety days--so be sure to check with whatever County Clerk's office you will be visiting to obtain your new marriage license. It is not uncommon that people remarry without ever being properly divorced, but it is probably prudent to act quickly to rectify the situation to protect your rights and prevent challenges to your marriage.
