Can You Get Married Online Through Utah?

Yes. Eligible couples can use Utah’s digital marriage workflow and participate in a remote video ceremony when current license, officiant, witness, and recording requirements are followed. The officiant must be physically present in Utah. After proper filing, the couple receives a Utah marriage certificate.

Courtly is a private service—not a government office—that guides couples through the process and offers optional certificate, apostille, and legalization support.
