Here is some general information about California marriage licenses:

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

Blood tests are not required.

Both parties must appear in person and bring valid photo ID to the County Clerk's Office to apply for a marriage license. 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.

Many County Clerks in California perform civil marriage ceremonies in their offices.
