Confidential marriage license application

Confidential marriage license

A confidential marriage license is not a public record. This means the public cannot view or request a copy of it.

You might choose a confidential license if you:

• Work in law enforcement;
• Are in the public eye;
• Have other privacy concerns.

To get a confidential license, you must swear or affirm that:

• The information you give is true and correct;
• You are both unmarried;
• You live together now;
• There is no legal reason you cannot marry.

You can have the ceremony anywhere in California.
