Deputy Commissioner for a Day

Why hire just anyone to perform your marriage ceremony when you can have a close family or friend do it?  Many California counties now allow couples to just do that.  The Registrar/Recorder-County Clerk has a program that allows individuals to be deputized for a day to perform a wedding ceremony.  All it takes are a few simple steps which are listed below:

All those requesting to be deputized should fill out the form provided on the web or send in a letter detailing:

·         the full name of the person to be deputized

·         the telephone number and address to contact that person

·         the name of the parties

·         the date of the wedding

·         the location of the wedding

The letter or application should be mailed in to the address below with a check or money order for $75, made payable to RR/CC, 2 months prior to the wedding. Applications received less than one month prior to the wedding if accepted, will be subject to a $13 expediting fee. Mail the letter or application to:

Deputy Commissioner For A Day
Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk
12400 Imperial Highway
Room 5001A
Norwalk, CA 90650

After confirmation is received, the individual just needs to be sworn in at the office, which can be done through appointments.  Call 562-462-2081 for more information, now go find your own personal deputy to perform your ceremony today!
