Yes, you really can do a Utah virtual wedding online.

---

At Utah Wedding Officiants, we can assist couples throughout the world in conducting a marriage ceremony online. It may be that one of you is deployed with the military, or due to quarantine requirements you or your family can’t travel.  There might be a waiting time for a marriage license where you live. Not all governments allow same sex marriages.  Utah does. Some wish to have a private ceremony, and then a separate ceremony for family.  It happens on occasion that one of the couple is critically ill and hospitalized with no visitors allowed. While we can make no commitment to do so, you are welcome to record your ceremony.

You can apply for your Utah marriage  license online.  There is no residency requirement.  The marriage license is issued online. There is no waiting period.  You provide us copies of your government ID and pay our  fee online. We arrange a time to perform the online marriage within the 30 days the license is good for. After the ceremony, we then return the marriage license electronically.

It really is that easy.

We note that we do not perform ceremonies for those who have not met in person 

Services are provided from 8:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Utah time, unless a separate out of hours fee is agreed upon.  

Prices subject to change. 

Your Utah marriage certificate will state the marriage took place in Utah. It is a legal and valid marriage under the law of the State of Utah, and we will provide a written legal opinion stating so if asked. A Marriage solemnized according to the laws of the state of Utah through online remote appearance may be invalid in the country where the parties to the Marriage reside.

While the standard is that a legal marriage in one jurisdiction is accepted in another, absent prohibited marriages, you should always take advice from a legal professional in your country on the subject.

We encourage those wishing to provide proof to governments outside the US to request a letter of validity from Utah County, at marriage@utahcounty.gov, and to have Utah County issue an apostille certifying the certificate  to be a true copy.  

Also, if you are emailing to  request a Letter of Validity, please use LETTER OF AUTHENTICATION as the subject line, include your full name, your spouse's full name and your marriage license number in the message.

Thanks!

 You should consider whether you wish to have any marriage performed outside of the Philippines registered or reported in that country.  

Are online marriages valid for immigration purposes?  While we do not give you immigration advice, we are happy to refer to those who do.
