Orange County officials Wednesday touted the success of its pre-paid marriage certificate program and encouraged more newlyweds to take advantage of the initiative.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The program allows couples to take care of the financial part of the application process in advance, so their trip to the Orange County Clerk\u2019s Office is more efficient.<\/p>\n
Couples who are seeking to obtain their marriage license and have their ceremony performed at the Orange County Clerk-Recorder\u2019s Office can pay the $17 fee as they exchange their vows. Then they will automatically receive their marriage license by mail without having to to make a separate trip to the office or call to see if their license is ready.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis program has become one of our most popular services because it allows couples to focus on celebrating their special day instead of worrying about paperwork,\u201d said Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen. \u201cBy streamlining the process, we\u2019re helping newlyweds save valuable time, reduce phone calls and trips to our offices, and begin their new chapter with ease.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2024, more than 23,000 couples received their marriage certificates through the pre-paid program, OC officials said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Orange County government also reminds people that the Clerk-Recorder\u2019s Office is the sole authority for issuing marriage licenses, performing ceremonies and providing certified marriage certificates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Orange County officials Wednesday touted the success of its pre-paid marriage certificate program and encouraged more newlyweds to…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":180673,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,2961,224,5337,1036],"class_list":{"0":"post-180672","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-la","11":"tag-los-angeles","12":"tag-losangeles","13":"tag-orange-county"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115102738265997828","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
