Hi, I don't know if this should have been posted in another forum but I'll ask anyway. Any idea how long it takes to get a California Marriage Certificate after a couple registers the marriage in the court?

For us it took a week.

By the way, if you don't mind my asking, in what county in CA did you get married? My fiance and I are trying to decide where to get married as I need an Advance Parole for travel in December this year. We're looking for a place where getting the marriage certificate won't take too long.

Hey MC:

I've got married in Placer county (Granite Bay), but I'm from Yolo county and that's where I have obtained the marriage license (Woodland, CA). It was cheaper to get it in Yolo county but more beautiful to get married in Granite Bay, than in Woodland. LOL :) I hope this helps! Congratulations on your marriage ahead! ;)
