Of course, that is the goal.<\/p>\n<p>From my many years of experience as an attorney, a specialized notary, a wedding officiant and a married man, I highly recommend a California confidential marriage license.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Well, there are many reasons, and mainly it&#8217;s about privacy. In today&#8217;s world of identity theft and telemarketing, I strongly recommend it. It will protect your personal information and that of your parents. Yes, it&#8217;s true. If you don&#8217;t opt for a confidential marriage license, then your private information is available to anyone who asks. With a confidential marriage license in California your marriage license containing lots of personal information is sealed from view and can only be accessed through a court order.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/officiantguy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Marriage-License-Marriage-Certificate-Los-Angeles-County.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-585 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/officiantguy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Marriage-License-Marriage-Certificate-Los-Angeles-County.jpg\" alt=\"Marriage License, Marriage Certificate, Los Angeles county\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/officiantguy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Marriage-License-Marriage-Certificate-Los-Angeles-County.jpg 600w, https:\/\/officiantguy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Marriage-License-Marriage-Certificate-Los-Angeles-County-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A confidential marriage license in California is really, the only way to go to protect yourself. Many couples question it&#8217;s legality, but it&#8217;s completely legal, as long as it&#8217;s issued correctly, which is something I am noted for by the Los Angeles\u00a0County Clerk&#8217;s office. It&#8217;s just protected from prying eyes. The only way anyone can view your marriage license is with a court order.<\/p>\n<p>But if you like spam, telemarketers, junk mail, identity thieves and possible stalkers, go ahead and avoid my advice.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Click below to find more information about getting a marriage license in California:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.officiantguy.com\/california-marriage-license\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Marriage License Information<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/officiantguy.com\/blog\/marriage-license-after-wedding-ceremony\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Can I Get a Marriage License After Our Wedding Ceremony?<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.officiantguy.com\/confidential-marriage-license-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Confidential Marriage License California<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/officiantguy.com\/blog\/confidential-marriage-license-vs-public-marriage-license\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Confidential Marriage License vs Public Marriage License<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.officiantguy.com\/copy-marriage-license-california\/\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Copy of California Marriage License<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/officiantguy.com\/blog\/get-marriage-license-before-after-wedding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Do You Get a Marriage License Before Or After The Wedding?<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.officiantguy.com\/getting-copy-marriage-certificate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Getting a Copy of the Marriage Certificate<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/officiantguy.com\/blog\/marriage-license-cost-los-angeles-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How Much Does a Marriage License Cost in Los Angeles, California<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/officiantguy.com\/blog\/marriage-license-marriage-certificate-in-los-angeles-county\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marriage License and Marriage Certificate Precision<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.officiantguy.com\/marriage-requirements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marriage Requirements in California<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.officiantguy.com\/orange-county-marriage-license\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orange County Marriage License <\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.officiantguy.com\/los-angeles-county-marriage-license-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Submit Your Los Angeles County Marriage License Information<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/officiantguy.com\/blog\/the-wedding-laws\/\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Wedding Laws California<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.officiantguy.com\/what-happens-after-you-sign-your-marriage-license\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Happens After You Sign Your Marriage License?<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/officiantguy.com\/blog\/forgot-marriage-license-wedding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">When You Forgot to Get a Marriage License Before Your Wedding<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From my many years of experience as an attorney, a specialized notary, a wedding officiant and a married man, I highly recommend a California confidential marriage license.
