How is a notary public able to issue the California Marriage License?
An authorized notary public must purchase the California Marriage License from the Los Angeles County Clerk/Recorder. The notary public, in turn, takes the license to the couple being married, verifies their identity and issues the license to them. The process takes about 20 minutes. What kind of ID do we need to present? Do we need our birth certificates? You need a goverment issued identification, that is, a driver’s license, passport, etc. You do not need to present a birth certificate. How long does the process take? The notary will bring a typewriter and the process takes about 20 minutes. If you go to the LA County Clerk/ Recorder the process takes one to two hours and you must arrive before 3p.m. to receive your license the same day. Where is your office?
