  • Virtual Local Assistance Center is Here to Help: With the County of Santa Clara extending the Shelter-in-Place Order though May 31, you may be wondering how to access helpful government services.

Updates from the State of California

  • Marriage Licenses via Videoconference: Yesterday, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order that will allow adults to obtain marriage licenses via videoconferencing rather than in person amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Adults will be able to get a marriage license, at the discretion of their local county clerk, through videoconferencing, as long as both adults are located within the State of California, are present, and can present identification during the video conference. Additionally, adults who wish to be married can conduct a ceremony to solemnize the marriage via videoconference, as long as both parties are present, and have at least one witness who can join the live video conference. The provisions will be in place for the next 60 days for those who wish to be married during that time.
