Getting hitched from the comfort of home: Remote marriage licenses in California (News Brief)

Thanks to an executive order signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom this week, California state residents will not have the option to obtain marriage licenses remotely due to the current coronavirus pandemic.

Marriage licenses can now be obtained from your local county clerk via video conference. The only requirement being that both members are residents of California and that the proper identification can be provided during the video call.

Interested parties should act quickly though, the offer for remote marriage licenses only stands for the next 60 days.
