Looking to Get Married Online in Colorado? Here’s What You Should Know
If you’re based in Colorado and wondering, Can I legally get married online in Colorado?, the answer is a little more exciting than you might expect.
Hey there—I’m one of the folks behind Virtual Same Day Marriage, and we’ve helped thousands of couples tie the knot legally and quickly without ever stepping foot in a government building. Whether you’re in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, or off the grid in Telluride, getting married online from Colorado is 100% possible—if you know the legal path.
Let’s break it down step by step.
Can You Get Married Online in Colorado?
Here’s the twist—Colorado is one of the few states that allows self-solemnization, which means you don’t need an officiant or witnesses to get married.
BUT… the state still requires you to apply in person at a county clerk’s office to get the license before self-solemnizing.
So, if you’re looking to get married 100% online in Colorado, without visiting the clerk’s office or mailing paperwork, the fastest, legal way is through Utah’s virtual marriage law—and Colorado recognizes those marriages without any extra steps.
At Virtual Same Day Marriage, we help couples in Colorado legally marry over Zoom, using Utah’s system, in as little as one hour. Here’s exactly how it works.
