Box 997410 Sacramento, CA 95899-7410 I recently requested a birth certificate and found a postcard in my mailbox about 2 weeks later from the State. It informed me that the average processing time for birth and death certificates is 4 weeks. However, for marriage and divorce certificates, it's up to 2-3 years. Perhaps a public records company could find the information for you. My guess is that it would take 2 or 3 days instead of 2 or 3 years. But that's just a guess.
Yes, California is a no-fault state for divorce, which means that couples can get divorced without having to prove that one party is at fault for the breakdown of the marriage.
Look in your divorce file for a copy of your marriage certificate. If that's not possible then request a copy of your marriage certificate from the town clerk where you were married. It will show the date of your marriage. Obtain a copy of your divorce decree from the court where you were divorced. Then, do the math yourself from the dates shown on those documents.Look in your divorce file for a copy of your marriage certificate.

CA transmits the information for dissolution of marriage to NV. Give it 6 months, (because government is slow), and your divorce should be registered in both states.
Divorce laws vary from state to state.
Yes, you typically need your original marriage certificate to change your driver's license after a divorce, as it serves as proof of your previous name. However, once your divorce is finalized, you may also need to provide the divorce decree to show the legal name change. Requirements can vary by state, so it's best to check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for their specific guidelines.
California is a no fault divorce state. Anyone can obtain a divorce based upon "irreconcilable differences" regardless of the reasons for the divorce.
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!
The state where the divorce is filed.
Yes, the laws of marriage in California and Nevada differ in several ways. For instance, California requires a waiting period of 90 days for a divorce, while Nevada has one of the shortest waiting periods, allowing for a divorce to be finalized as quickly as 6 weeks. Additionally, Nevada is known for its quick and easy marriage process, including same-day marriage licenses and no residency requirement, whereas California has more regulations and requirements. These differences can affect how couples approach marriage and divorce in each state.
In the United States state law governs marriage.
No, not in the United States. If your prior divorce was 'overturned' by that state court then your subsequent marriage was not valid.
You do not 'cancel' a marriage certificate, but, in some States if you have been married less than a certain period of time (which varies from state to state) and meet other specific criteria you can have the marriage 'annulled.' This dissolves the marriage ab initio, and is legally distinct from a "divorce".If you got the license (not the "certificate", which is a document from the state that the marriage has been recorded) and then changed your mind before getting married, you don't usually need to explicitly "cancel" it. They normally expire after a short time (3 days to a month, again depending on the state) if the marriage is not solemnized (the "wedding" part) and recorded.
