Online reservation system for marriage licenses, wedding ceremonies launched

SAN DIEGO – The San Diego County Clerk’s Office has launched a new online and mobile-friendly reservation system that offers customers the ability to schedule their marriage license and civil ceremony appointments online.

“The new system will allow couples to schedule their appointments at any time and no longer require them to either call or come into our offices just to make a reservation,” Assessor, Recorder and County Clerk Ernest J. Dronenburg Jr. said. “The new marriage online reservation system is part of my ongoing effort to modernize our office and enhance the customer service experience by moving folks from in-line in our office to online at their convenience.”

Couples can access the 24/7 appointment system in both English and Spanish by visiting http://www.sdarcc.com and selecting the “click to schedule” option. They will begin by selecting the office location that they prefer and then select a time from the available appointments for the marriage license application and for a civil ceremony if desired.

Once the appointment is made, the system will send a confirmation email to the couple and allow for the option to receive a text message confirmation. They will also be able to modify their appointment online through a link provided in their confirmation email.

The county of San Diego clerk’s office issued 26,249 marriage licenses and performed 14,780 ceremonies in 2017.
