Why International Couples Choose Online Marriage

With travel restrictions, visa headaches, and time zone juggling, international couples face a lot of hurdles. Online wedding ceremonies let you celebrate together—even if you’re oceans apart. Plus, a Zoom wedding or virtual event means friends and family can join in no matter where they are.

How Does a Virtual Wedding Work?

You might wonder how a virtual marriage is even possible. Thanks to advances in technology, you can get married via a secure video call, with a real online minister officiating and the paperwork managed for you. The license is legal, recognized, and perfect for couples across international borders. Curious about the process? Visit our How It Works page for a step-by-step breakdown.

Online Marriage License: Are International Marriages Legal?

Yes, you can get a legal online marriage certificate. The key is making sure your marriage meets both U.S. and your home country’s standards. For many nations, you’ll need an apostille on your documents for international use. Our Apostille Questionnaire makes it easy to figure out what’s required.

When You Need Document Translation

If your marriage certificate must be officially recognized in another country, certified translations may be necessary. Our team provides certified translations to help ensure your paperwork is accepted wherever life—and love—take you next!

Virtual Marriage and Immigration Benefits

A virtual marriage is also great for couples working on immigration, family reunification, or even proving marriage for tax purposes. Learn more about our immigration support services and start building your life together, faster.

FAQs About Online Marriage for International Couples

  • Is a virtual wedding recognized in every country?
    Recognition depends on your country’s specific laws. Most countries accept U.S. marriages with proper documentation and an apostille. Check your local embassy or U.S. State Department guidelines.
  • Do we have to be in the same country to get married online?
    Nope! Many couples say “I do” from two different continents, as long as both can join the ceremony by video and complete identity verification.
  • How long does it take to receive our online marriage certificate?
    Most couples receive their digital certificate within a few days! Paper copies and apostilles can take a little longer for international mailing.
  • Can we use our online marriage certificate for immigration purposes?
    Absolutely, as long as the certificate is apostilled and properly translated if needed. Our Immigration Support page has details.
