The bride and groom MUST come into the office TOGETHER to obtain the marriage license. The bride and groom MUST have a valid, current picture I.D. The I.D. must be government issued. Some examples include: State issued Drivers License or I.D. card; Military I.D.; Green Card; Naturalization Certificate; Passport.

If a person DOES NOT have acceptable I.D., then all of the following is required: A CERTIFIED copy of birth certificate. At least 2 documents with their name on it that only they would have, such as: Utility bills; pay stub; medical card; insurance policy; school records.

ONLY the bride or groom may obtain copies of the marriage certificate, EXCEPT by order of the Superior Court. PLEASE NOTE: The office of the Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder strongly advises that a Regular marriage license be issued except in those instances where the confidentiality of the marriage date is important. It has been our experience that complications frequently arise when copies are requested and can ONLY be issued to the bride or groom. To obtain a confidential marriage license you must not only meet the above requirements for a regular marriage license, you must also meet the following requirements: Both parties must be 18 years of age or older. Both parties must swear in writing that they have already been living together. The marriage ceremony may be performed ONLY in Riverside County.
