How to Get Legally Married Virtually

A Step-by-Step Guide to Saying “I Do” Without Leaving Your Couch

Is It Really Legal?

Yes! As of now, Utah County, Utah, allows remote marriage licenses and online wedding ceremonies that are 100% legal and recognized worldwide.

You do not need to be in Utah, a U.S. citizen, or even in the same country — the wedding is performed by a licensed officiant over a secure video call, and legally registered by the county.

Who Can Use This?

This guide is for:

  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Long-distance couples
  • 🧘‍♀️ Wanting a minimalist, meaningful wedding without the stress
  • 🌍 International or binational partners
  • 🎖️ Military personnel
  • 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ couples
  • 🎭 Eloping couples
  • 💼 Busy professionals who just want it done right

What You'll Need

  • Two people ready to say "I do"
  • Two witnesses
  • Government-issued photo ID (e.g., passport or driver’s license)
  • Internet connection + a device with camera/mic
  • A credit/debit card (for license + ceremony fee)
  • A ceremony with a legal officiant (like LoveLifeWedding.com)

Step-by-Step: How It Works

Step 1: Choose a Ceremony and Wedding Officiant

Find a licensed officiant who can legally perform the wedding via video (like LoveLifeWedding.com).

Step 2: Schedule Your Video Call

Pick a time/date. Some services offer availability 7 days a week, including same-day ceremonies.

Step 3: Apply for a Marriage License

Go to Utah County’s online marriage portal and apply. 
🕒 Takes ~40 mins. You’ll both need to upload your ID.

Step 4: Get Married on Zoom

Show up to the call on time. Say your vows. Your officiant handles the ceremony and paperwork live.

Step 5: Receive Your Legal Marriage Certificate

Your officiant files everything with Utah County. You’ll get your official marriage certificate via digitally and mail delivery.

Is It Valid in My State and/or My Country?

Yes — every U.S. state, and in most countries, a legally registered U.S. marriage is fully recognized. 
BUT: Check local recognition rules if you're outside the U.S and:

  • Applying for a visa
  • Changing your legal name
  • Needing recognition by religious institutions
