If you are planning a San Francisco elopement, you are going to need a California marriage license.  Here are some important things you will need to know in order to be granted a license to wed in San Francisco:

How To Apply

You and your partner will both need to go to the Office of the County Clerk together in order to apply for the license.  Make sure you both have a legal photo ID with you.  Currently, San Francisco’s marriage license fee is $100 (subject to change) plus $5 convenience fee payable by credit card at the time of booking appointment online.  They do not offer any refunds so if you change your mind, you are out of luck! If you have been divorced, you do need to know your exact divorce date.

Requirements

Be over 18 and have valid legal identification

Expiration

A ceremony must occur within 90 days from the date the license is issued.  A ceremony may take place anywhere within the State of California.
