They said "I do" from everywhere
★★★★★
"My husband was stationed in South Korea. We used Courthouse Cloud and were officially married in under three hours. The certificate arrived a week later. Absolutely flawless."
★★★★★

"We booked at 9am and were legally married by noon the same day. The officiant was warm, the ceremony genuinely touching. We're planning a big celebration later — but this was perfect."
Why Courthouse Cloud
A real courthouse wedding — just not at the courthouse
Our courthouse wedding process follows the exact same legal pathway as visiting a county courthouse in person. You get a real courthouse marriage license, a licensed officiant, and a certified U.S. marriage certificate — the only difference is you do it over a secure video call.
Real courthouse license
Issued by Utah County government. A legal document — not a commitment certificate.
Licensed officiants
All officiants hold active state licensure and have officiated ceremonies.
Secure & private
Your identity and documents are encrypted and handled with strict data security protocols.
Recognized worldwide
Valid in all 50 states. Add our apostille service for recognition in 123+ countries.
Common Questions
Courthouse wedding FAQs — everything you need to know
Yes — 100%. Utah County pioneered legal online marriage in 2020. Your license is issued by a real government courthouse, performed by a licensed officiant, and recorded with the county clerk. The certificate is legally identical to one obtained in person — recognized in all 50 U.S. states, and with an apostille, in 123+ countries.
Yes — State law requires exactly two witnesses at every marriage ceremony. Both must be 18+ and present via video and audio for the full ceremony. You can bring your own witnesses, or we provide two professional, certified witnesses as an add-on for $50. Witnesses are included free in our Premium and Same-Day Rush packages.
No. Both parties can be in completely different locations — different states, different countries, or different continents. As long as you both have a stable internet connection and can join a video call, you can get married through Courthouse Cloud.
A valid government-issued photo ID (passport or driver's license) for each person. No Social Security Number required. If either party was previously married, you'll also need a divorce decree or death certificate. We guide you through everything.
