San Diego, CA–The San Diego County Assessor -Recorder- County Clerk has expanded office hours to offer a new “Love After Hours Evening Wedding Services” program.

Couples may book an appointment for an evening wedding on September 14 between the hours of 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. Customers can also walk without an appointment to purchase birth, death, and marriage certificates or file Fictitious Business Names. Many students need their birth certificates for school and university enrollment.

Couples may schedule appointments for a Marriage License and-or Civil Ceremony between 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the following four office locations – County Administration Center in Downtown San Diego on the waterfront, Chula Vista, San Marcos, and Santee. 

The office will also serve walk-in customers who would like to purchase birth, death, and marriage certificates or file Fictitious Business Name statements during these extended hours. No appointments are necessary when requesting vital records or filing a business name.

Couples can book their appointment for love using the 24/7 online appointment system at www.SDARCC.com or by calling (619) 237-0502. Couples are encouraged to complete their Marriage License application online ahead of the appointment time at www.SDARCC.com for faster service.
