"Obtaining a California marriage license should be a quick and painless procedure. You should start by making sure that you have all of the necessary documentation. This usually includes valid photo identification and a copy of your birth certificate. If you have been previously married, it will be required to know the date the marriage ended, and in some cases to show a copy of the final
. judgment if you filed an annulment or dissolution of marriage. Next you'll head down to the county clerk's office with all of your documentation in hand. You will fill out some paperwork and be issued a marriage license that is valid for ninety days.Reference:http://www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/birthdeathmar/Pages/MarriageLicenseceremonygeneralinfo.aspx"
