Marriage License Los Angeles County
The Los Angeles County Recorder, also known as the L.A. County Clerk, is a very busy place. All kinds of people go there to get many sorts of things such as marriage licenses and other legal documents. It’s a very large place and yet, every time that I go there to file a marriage license so that a marriage certificate can be issued or to pick up marriage licenses I usually see a long line that looks like this:
This is a photo taken from my phone of the line I usually encounter at the Los Angeles County Clerk's Office.
It’s not an exciting place, but it’s a necessary one. If you are having a Southern California wedding then you need a marriage license first before you get married so obtaining a marriage license is necessary either at the County Clerk’s Office or through one of the few specially trained notaries available, such as myself.
There are only eight County Clerk’s offices in Los Angeles and over 10 million people living here. And all but one office closes at 3 pm. The other one stays open until 4 pm. Do the math and you can imagine what I come across when I make the trip every week. There are just way too many people and the parking lot is overcrowded and confusing. It is unquestionably a very frustrating experience. Most of my clients feel that way too so they ask me to issue their license so they can avoid such an ordeal.
Those who choose to get a Los Angeles marriage license themselves usually tell me that they regret it because it eats up most of a work day and both bride and groom must show up together during limited business hours. Taking the day off of work can sometimes be a costly thing especially when you are planning a honeymoon together and need that extra time for fun.
So, if you’d rather not spend a good portion of your work day waiting in line and filling out the frustrating paperwork of a wedding license, I can do it for you. Isn’t there already more wedding stress than there has to be?
I am a marriage officiant in Los Angeles. I am also an attorney so paperwork is second nature to me. It’s important to me that I follow proper procedures and get your marriage records filed. What’s more is that I always have extra marriage licenses on hand so I can issue one to you on a moment’s notice.

What is a Wedding Officiant?
Los Angeles Wedding Officiant,
Chris Robinson, at a beach wedding.
When people ask me what I do, I tell them I am a wedding officiant. I usually get that quizzical look and then the question: “Uh, what is a wedding efficient?” “No, no. A wedding oh-fish-ee-ant,” I say, enunciating.
Almost everyone I have said that to doesn’t know that my profession exists. You can call me whatever you want – - wedding minister, wedding clergy, wedding official, wedding officiate, ceremony officiant, humanist officiant, celebrant, that guy who marries people, officiant dude- – anything. That’s okay. It’s more important that you know what I can do for you.
I can help you get married, easily. In addition, I can issue you a marriage license. I save you time and hassle and can accomodate any type of wedding ceremony or wedding requests. I’m here to help.
Below are some official definitions, or officiant definitions you might say:
From A Glossary of Terms :
Officiant
This is the cleric or secular official that carries out the ceremony. For non religious weddings, he or she might be a justice of the peace, magistrate or even the Captain of a ship (when onboard).
From Wikipedia:
Officiant
An officiant is someone who officiates at (i.e. leads) a service or ceremony, such as marriage, burial, or namegiving/baptism. Officiants may be ordained by any denomination as members of their clergy, or by secular/Humanist or Interfaith/Interspiritual religious bodies. Officiants differ from Chaplains in that Officiants serve the unaffiliated public at large, while Chaplains are usually employed by an institution such as the military, a hospital or other health care facility, etc. The term “Officiant” also includes Justices of the Peace, celebrants, notaries, and other people empowered by law to perform legally-binding private ceremonies.
Marriage Officiant
Marriage officiant is a civil officer who performs acts of marriage or civil union. Their main responsibility is to receive and witness the consent of the intended spouses and to ensure the legal formalities, and hence the validity of the marriage or civil union, observed.
