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

Common Questions

Q: Do we have to be in the U.S. or state of Utah to use this? 

🅰️ No! You can both be outside the U.S.

Q: Is this a “real” marriage? 

🅰️ Yes — legally binding and valid for immigration, tax, insurance, etc.

🅰️ License: same-day. Ceremony: as little as 15 mins. Certificate: 1–2 weeks.

Q: Can we customize the ceremony? 

🅰️ Yes! Many officiants allow you to personalize vows or add special touches.
