How Utah's Online Marriage License Works, Step by Step
From applying online to signing your certificate — here's exactly what the process looks like from start to finish.
Utah's online marriage license process was designed to be completed entirely remotely, which is exactly what makes video ceremonies possible. Here's the general shape of it.
Step 1: Apply for your marriage license online through the appropriate county clerk's website. You'll typically need government-issued ID for both partners.
Step 2: Once approved, your license is issued electronically and is valid for a set window of time — plan your ceremony date accordingly.
Step 3: Book your live video ceremony with a licensed officiant (that's where we come in). Choose a date and time that works for both of you.
Step 4: Meet your officiant on a live video call, exchange vows, and have the ceremony solemnized in real time — witnesses can join the call too.
Step 5: Your officiant completes and files the signed marriage certificate on your behalf, and you'll receive guidance on how to get your certified copy.
