A civil marriage is a marriage performed, recorded, and recognized by a government official. Such a marriage may be performed by a religious body and recognized by the state, or it may be entirely secular.

A confidential marriage license allows all personal information on a marriage license to be protected from public . Once the marriage is officially recorded, this information will be available to the married couple only. This benefits anyone who wishes to avoid public record and to keep their information private.

To apply for a Confidential marriage license, you must already be living with your future spouse. To purchase a Confidential marriage certificate (proof of your marriage), you must either be the married person listed on the certificate or have a court order authorizing you to purchase the certificate.

A potential disadvantage is that couples must be living together when they apply. This information is provided by the couple and won't be checked by the county, but could pose a problem for couples who aren't living together and answer honestly on their application.

The significant difference is that the confidential marriage license is confidential, and only the married couple can procure copies of it from the recorder's office. Comparatively, the public license is part of public record, which means anyone can request copies, provided they pay the required fees.
