Marriage License

Posted in Planning 69

Due to COVID-19 has anyone been able to get their marriage license during the shutdown and how long did it take? We’re doing it through a county an hour away from us and we had to send in the application paperwork and this Friday will be a week so I’m just anxious on when it will come 😭

    I’ve been so stressed out and depressed over all of this. I just want to get married and be done with it, I don’t want to wait another year.

    No, I haven’t yet because my wedding isn’t until July 18 Based on my date, I shouldn’t do it until May 15. At this point, I don’t care if anyone shows up and it’s just our families. I just want it done and over with. I feel so bad for all of us brides. We want this amazing wedding and now it’s been so stressful and upsetting.

    Veronica,

    What county are you in in CA? I'm down in Ventura and NO body is issuing marriage licenses around here except Orange County but we'd have to drive down there in person. Since it doesn't matter, in CA, what county you get your license from I'd love to explore your county!! Any help is appreciated.

    Hey Michelle,


    I’m in Northern California and we went through Alameda County! It’s in Oakland you email and they send you the paperwork in the email! It’s requires getting your signatures notarized and UPS has a notary service! We sent it off last week and still waiting 😭 it’s been so stressful!

    THANK YOU!!! I'm going to attempt it. Our wedding isn't until June but I want to have the license in hand so that we can just do a small ceremony if needed.


    thanks,

    I have tried calling 311, internet, covid information hotline and all they tell me that they are preparing. No update on the website. We submitted our application early April.
