- 1). Decide which type of marriage license to obtain. If the couple does not live together or is marrying outside of Orange County, a public license must be used. For couples who live together and are marrying inside of Orange County, a confidential license may be chosen.
- 2). Fill out the marriage license application. The application is available online.
- 3). Appear together and in person at the Old Orange County Courthouse. Appointments are not necessary, and applicants who have completed the marriage license application online are given priority.
- 4). Present photo identification and any divorce or death certificates from prior marriages. Pay the fee by cash, check, money order, cashier's check or credit card. The marriage license will be issued within 20 to 40 minutes and is valid for 90 days.
