Alameda County Marriage Services

Alameda County Clerk-Recorder provides marriage licenses and civil ceremonies through its Oakland office, with online applications and appointment-based in-person services. Published fees include about $81 for a public license, $90 for a confidential license, and $75 for a ceremony.

Virtual license and ceremony services are available when both parties are physically together in California and meet the stated video requirements. That option helps if travel into the office is hard but you are both in-state.

Choose public versus confidential based on privacy needs, then book the ceremony format that matches your witness and guest plans.
