Thinking about a virtual marriage or online wedding but worried about the legal side—specifically, how e-signatures hold up? We get these questions all the time! As small business owners who simplify virtual marriage planning, we’re obsessed with making sure your online marriage process is simple, stress-free, and 100% legal. Let’s dive into how e-signatures work for marriage documents so you can say “I do” with confidence—no printer required!
What Exactly Are E-Signatures in an Online Marriage?
E-signatures are digital versions of your handwritten signature that are legally recognized in most jurisdictions. For online marriage, this means you can sign applications, affidavits, and even your online marriage license on your computer or smartphone—yes, even if you’re on Zoom!
Are E-Signatures Valid for Online Wedding Documents?
Absolutely! In the U.S. and many international locations, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) gives e-signatures the same legal status as traditional ink. That means when you get married online, your digital signature is just as binding as a pen on paper—so long as you follow a few simple rules.
