Dreaming of marrying the love of your life but worried about your immigration status? You’re not alone. More people are turning to online marriage services to make this big step simple, quick, and—yes!—entirely legal, even for undocumented immigrants. Whether you’re planning a virtual marriage due to distance, immigration challenges, or just convenience, this guide will walk you through what to expect and how to get started.
Can Undocumented Immigrants Get Married Online?
Absolutely! Thanks to online marriage services and states where virtual wedding ceremonies are allowed, getting legally married is more accessible than ever. Immigration status typically does not prohibit someone from getting married online, but knowing what documents you do (and don’t) need is crucial. For step-by-step guidance, check our How it Works page.
Key Documents You’ll Need
While the requirements can vary by state, you can usually get an online marriage license with a government-issued photo ID—even if it’s not from the U.S. Our team will help you navigate through ID verification and let you know about any extra steps. If your documents are in another language, don’t panic—we offer certified translations to help qualify your ID or other records.
How Online Wedding Ceremonies Work for Immigration Purposes
After your virtual wedding, you’ll receive a legal marriage certificate. While this doesn’t change your immigration status automatically, it can help with future petitions or immigration adjustments. For up-to-date information, check out this page from USCIS on spousal petitions or visit our Immigration Support section for more assistance.
Getting an Apostille for International Recognition
Planning to use your marriage certificate outside the US? You’ll need an apostille to certify its authenticity. We handle the legal legwork with our Apostille Service and offer a quick apostille questionnaire so you can get started fast.
Translation Support for Multinational Couples
For many undocumented or international couples, language can be a barrier. We help break it down! Rely on our Translation Request service to get everything sorted in the correct language for your paperwork and ceremony.
