| Where Do I Get A Marriage License In Los Angeles |
Where to Get Your Love License
First things first: the paperwork. In the land of sunshine and celebrities, you'll need a little something called a marriage license to make it official. Not a "love license," mind you. That's something you'll have to figure out on your own.
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
The place to get your actual, legal marriage license is the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office. Yes, it's a mouthful, and no, it's not the sexiest place in town. But hey, it's where the magic happens (or at least the legal equivalent of magic).
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
Pro tip: You can actually start the application online, but you'll still need to show up in person with your future spouse to finalize things. So, don't ditch your partner just because you're halfway through the form!
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.

What You Need to Bring
Aside from your significant other, you'll need to bring a few things to the party. Think of it as the wedding equivalent of a guest list: you can't show up empty-handed.
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
- Valid government-issued photo ID: Your driver's license, passport, or any other official ID with a picture of you looking vaguely respectable.
- Social Security numbers: Because the government loves to keep track of everyone.
- Proof of age: If you're under 18, you'll need parental consent and a birth certificate. Don't worry, we won't judge if you're still in diapers.
The Fine Print
Now, let's talk about the boring stuff. The marriage license is valid for 90 days, so don't wait too long to say "I do." And remember, your license only becomes a marriage certificate after the ceremony, so don't lose it!
Also, there are two types of licenses: public and confidential. A public license is, well, public record. A confidential license keeps your information private, but it comes with a few extra hoops to jump through. So, choose wisely!
