FAQ Friday: Do we have to be California residents to get married here?
NOPE! California does not require couples to be residents to get married here. Couples from out of state (or even out of Country!) can plan their ceremony in Greater Palm Springs and apply for a California marriage license.
The key is confirming current requirements, having the required identification and documentation, choosing the appropriate license type, and completing the licensing steps in the proper order.
Today We Become One helps make the process easier by guiding couples through marriage license details and coordinating the ceremony itself.
From our Palm Desert chapel to your chosen location, we help bring the important pieces together so you can focus on the meaning of the day, not the paperwork.
