Same Sex Couples are urged to marry before Election in California

We have an election here in November that could ruin the chances for same sex couples to marry. We are urging all couples to get married before November 4th or you may miss your chance to get married here in California.

Gay and Lesbian couples have flocked here to get married and it will be a shame to turn away even one couple in love after the election. We hope that everyone can get the word out to vote NO on Prop. 8 November 4th.

Protect the rights of every American to marry the person they love, regardless of the sex of their partner.

Obtaining a Same-Sex Wedding License in California

You have several options when coming to California to get married. Not all county offices that issue licenses can marry you on the spot. Some offices do not conduct marriages so you need to find out in advance before you go to the recorder office.

Your best bet is to use a Notary Public that is authorized to issue the Los Angeles County Marriage License. We are able to issue the license and marry you on the spot.

You will need to provide a valid photo ID when you file for the license. If you have gotten a divorce within the last two years, you will also need official proof of that. California does not require a health check or blood test.
