For couples outside the United States

International online marriage, explained clearly.

Eligible couples may apply directly through Utah County and attend a live video ceremony with an authorized officiant physically present in Utah. You can participate from different locations, but you should verify recognition and document requirements wherever you plan to use the marriage record.

How it works

Can international couples get married online through Utah?

Many eligible couples can. The couple applies directly through Utah County, completes the county’s identity process, attends a live online ceremony in English with two adult witnesses, and the officiant submits the completed marriage information electronically.

01

Apply with Utah County

Each partner completes the county’s current application and identity-verification requirements.

02

Send the digital license

After approval, provide the license using the private process described in your booking instructions.

03

Join live in English

Both partners, two witnesses and the Utah-based officiant must see and hear one another in real time.

04

County processes the record

Your officiant submits the completed information; Utah County then processes the marriage record.

Utah County states that there is no waiting period and a license must be used within 32 days of issuance. Always confirm current requirements on the official Utah County Marriage Office website.

International resources

Choose a country information page.

Every country page is in English and explains the same Utah County process with country-specific considerations. Each page also offers the five translated PDF guides by email.

All booking steps and live ceremonies are conducted in English.

Before paying

Verify how you will use the record.

Acceptance can depend on the country, agency and purpose involved. Apostilles, certified copies, translations, registrations, immigration filings and religious requirements are separate matters controlled by other authorities or providers.

International marriage questions

Quick answers for couples abroad.

Can we participate from different countries?+

Participants may join from different physical locations if everyone satisfies Utah County’s current live-video requirements and can see and hear one another in real time.

What language is the live ceremony?+

All live Simply Married Online ceremonies are conducted in English. The translated guides explain the process but do not provide a translated ceremony.

Who provides the witnesses?+

Two witnesses age 18 or older are required. You may choose the package where the couple provides both witnesses or the package where Simply Married Online provides both.

Does Simply Married Online issue the marriage license?+

No. You apply directly with Utah County. Simply Married Online is an independent ceremony service that provides the authorized Utah-based officiant and submits the completed information after the ceremony.

Will the marriage be recognized in our country?+

Recognition varies by country, authority and intended use. Confirm the current requirements with the authority that will receive the record or a qualified legal professional before booking.
