Instant Marriage LA vs Marriage at a Recorder’s Office
Many couples believe that the only way to get legally married in the state of California is go to the Courthouse, also known as a Registrar Recorder County Clerk's ('RRCC") office. However, what they do not realize is the stress and inconvenience of that process. They assume that it is a relatively simple and easy procedure, which will be a hassle free experience for them.
Since we receive new inquiries from our couples on a daily basis we decided to describe in detail the benefits of our services (“instant marriage on the same day”) as opposed to marriage at the Recorder’s Office ( "RRCC").
First, let’s start from the RRCC office to demonstrate how this process works if you decide to go this route.
Marriage at RRCC Office
- In order to be legally married in the State of California you need to obtain a marriage license first. You and your fiancé (partner) must be present during the application process. The RRCC office is open on weekdays only and closed on weekends and holidays. Now, during post COVID times, they do not allow walk-ins - you need to make an appointment in advance (usually 2-3 weeks).
- Just having your marriage license itself does not mean that you are legally married.
Essentially, the marriage license is just a permit to get married. You will need to have a ceremony, which is a mandatory legal requirement. At the time of your marriage license appointment the RRCC office will offer you to schedule a ceremony which will usually take another several weeks depending upon their availability. They simply do not offer same day service – you have to go back there again and then you will be finally married.
- A lot of couples genuinely believe that if they go through this process with the LA RRCC office they will receive a certified copy of their marriage record right after the ceremony. It is not true! After the ceremony the RRCC office will give you an instant proof of marriage and will advise you to wait for 6-8 weeks for the certified copy to be mailed to you.
As you can see the whole process may take up to a few weeks. Not only you have to go to the RRCC office on two different occasions, it becomes an impossible task for the couples that temporarily stay in Los Angeles or deal with certain time constraints.
Instant Marriage (Same Day Marriage License and Ceremony)
What we offer is a simple and easy alternative that will save you a lot of time. If you use our services, the same process described above will take about 40 minutes and you will be legally married! You just need to present your valid IDs or passports, and then we will issue you a marriage license and perform a civil ceremony. This means that you will be legally married the same day! An instant/legal proof of marriage is available immediately. You can use this document for most state or federal purposes such as health insurance, immigration, military benefits, property issues, etc. We will also order a certified copy of your marriage record, which will arrive via mail after your marriage is officially recorded by the State of California.
Instead of visiting the RRCC office on several different occasions you can just come to us and get legally married right on a spot. We have special authorization to issue marriage license to the general public and to perform wedding ceremonies. All couples are welcome regardless of their residency, ethnicity, gender or religious beliefs.
Our wedding chapel is good for any occasion. Whether it is a simple ceremony with just the two of you or a big wedding (we can accommodate up to ten guests), we will be happy to provide you with the best service. Since your marriage license will be notarized, no witnesses are required, but guests are more than welcome.
We are open by appointment, seven days a week and available on short notice. We also offer travel services – we can simply deliver a marriage license to your location, perform a civil ceremony and you will be married at your place of choice.
Call and book an appointment with us – it is totally worth it!
