100% Legal & Recognized
Is Online Marriage Legal?
Yes! Get legally married online from anywhere in the world. Your marriage is recognized in all 50 US states and 123+ countries.
Yes, getting married online is legal – thanks to changes in the law during the COVID-19 pandemic. A promise to "bring the Clerk's office into the 21st century", the Utah County Marriage License Office began a year-long effort to create a completely digital end-to-end legal marriage process. Beginning in 2020, couples were given the ability to get legally married online – from receiving a marriage license, having the wedding ceremony, and having the officiant submit information for the marriage certificate completely over the web. Since then, thousands of couples have obtained marriage licenses and been legally married despite challenges posed by distance, office closures, and travel restrictions.
