Requirements for Marriage License
2. Single, Unmarried:
You must be single or unmarried to be married in California. In other words, no
polygamy is allowed.
If you have been married before, and your previous marriage ended within 24 months prior to your wedding date, then you need to provide a copy of the divorce decree, annulment decree or death certificate from your previous marriage to verify that the previous marriage has ended before a new marriage license can be issued.
