You will need a
California Marriage License.
 |
You must be 18 or
older. |
 |
No Blood Tests are
required, |
 |
There is no waiting
period - you can get your license and get married the same day. |
 |
You can get your
license in any California County. The cost varies and some
counties require appointments, so call the office you plan to get
your license for details. |
 |
Please bring a
form of picture I.D. that also indicates your date of birth (usually
a driver’s license or passport) at the time you come in for your
license. |
To get your license in
Mariposa
 | no appointment is needed and it takes about
30 minutes to fill out the form and receive your license. |
 | Marriage licenses are issued by the County
Clerk in Mariposa County, at 10th & Bullion Streets,
in the Hall of Records. |
 | A public marriage license may be obtained for
$45.00 cash, or a confidential marriage license for $50.00 cash.
Both types of licenses require that the bride and groom both appear
in person at the Mariposa County Clerk’s office. |
 | You can get a certified copy for $13. (Brides
- You will need this to change your name.) |
 | If either you or your fiancé have been
previously married, and the dissolution was finalized within the
past 90 days, you must bring a copy of the final dissolution for
verification. |
 | The license is valid for 90 days from date of
issue. |
You also need one legal witness, which we can
provide if you are eloping. If you have any guests, one of them can be
the witness.

Active Military: I recommend you
get your license in Mariposa. After the ceremony, we will take the license
to the Mariposa Clerk to be recorded. You may pick up your certified copy
any weekday before leaving this area. Your dependant will need this to
receive benefits. If time is not critical, it can be mailed to you.
Foreign residents: I recommend
you get your license in Mariposa. After the ceremony, we will take
the license to the Mariposa Clerk to be recorded, so you can get a copy
right away if you need to take it home with you, otherwise it can be
mailed to you. You can use the certified copy to have your marriage
registered at your local registrar's office. Some Countries require
this; check with your local clerk to make sure that is all you need. If
you get your license in any other County, it must be mailed to that
County for recording. |
