What You Need To Know About Virtual Marriage In Utah

Though it may not be as popular since the pandemic, virtual weddings are still a thing and easy in Utah.

Utah County really dove headfirst into technology during the pandemic and legalized virtual marriages in 2020. Basically, you just needed to fill out some paperwork, make sure you have an officiant and witnesses, and you could be married online.

Sounds pretty easy, right?

Though I know most people still prefer to have an in-person wedding with friends and family, this is an option.

Utah County also allows for those who don’t have Utah residency to use this service to get married and have it recognized across the country. As long as all the state and federal laws are upheld, your virtual marriage can be recognized.

Regardless of the reason, online weddings are now a more common practice since the pandemic. Places like Missouri, Oregon, Minnesota, and Indiana also offer virtual marriage services.

However, since laws are always changing it is best to check in with the clerk county/ auditor website directly to see what you might need for the virtual wedding. Different counties or states may have different requirements than Utah County.

Video services like Zoom, FaceTime, and Skype are all acceptable for these virtual marriages. You can even use Courtly, which is a dedicated online marriage service that helps with the video call.

If you are looking to get married online and have different countries of origin, look into the county/state laws surrounding that. There may be some restrictions or extra paperwork needed.
