FAQs
Is an online marriage legally recognized?
Absolutely. All of our Zoom-based marriages are 100% legally recognized in the United States and over 190 countries around the world. Once your virtual wedding is complete, you’ll receive an official marriage certificate issued by a U.S. County Clerk. This certificate is valid for name changes, immigration (including green card applications), government documentation, and international use. Our online marriage service meets all legal standards for both domestic and international recognition. Learn more here.
Can we get married even if we’re in different countries?
Yes — location is never a barrier. Whether you’re in a long-distance relationship, on deployment, or living abroad, we can legally marry couples no matter where they are in the world. As long as both individuals have a valid internet connection and access to Zoom, you can say “I do” from separate countries, time zones, or continents.
