SPECIAL NOTE:
Marriage over the phone is NOT legal in
If you encounter a Notary who issues marriage licenses who claims to be able
to arrange this, you are being scammed for your money. I will not
name names here, but there is a chapel in Inglewood, California which is
marrying incarcerated persons over the phone. If you do this, your
"marriage" will NOT be legal and could be challenged in court.
That's all there is to it -- just call my office for an appointment - we issue
on weekends and in the evenings, so we are more convenient for
some couples than the Recorder's Office which usually means time off from
work and long lines.
