Public Marriage Certificate Authorized Copies

Step 1 of 4

Instructions
Section 103526 of the California Health and Safety Code restricts who is allowed to obtain an authorized certified copy of a non-confidential (public) marriage record. When requesting an authorized certified copy, a sworn statement will be required.

Those who are not authorized need to apply for an INFORMATIONAL CERTIFIED COPY with the words "INFORMATIONAL, NOT A VALID DOCUMENT TO ESTABLISH IDENTITY" imprinted across the face of the copy.

I am: The registrant. (One of the parties to the marriage.) A parent, legal guardian, child, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or domestic partner of the registrant. A party entitled to receive the record as a result of a court order. (Include a certified copy of the court order with this request.) A member of a law enforcement agency or a representative of another governmental agency, as provided by law, who is conducting official business. An attorney representing the registrant or the registrant’s estate, or any person or agency empowered by statute or appointed by a court to act on behalf of the registrant or the registrant’s estate. (If by power of attorney, include a copy of the power of attorney with this request.) None of the above, and I am applying for an INFORMATIONAL CERTIFIED COPY with the words "INFORMATIONAL, NOT A VALID DOCUMENT TO ESTABLISH IDENTITY" imprinted across the face of the copy.
