Question 1

Is Online Marriage Really Legal?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Several US states now allow legal marriages to be performed online, and are available for couples no matter where they are located. The rules are different in each state and marriage laws are constantly changing, but our Get Married Online package has you covered. We'll give you personalized recommendations based on your answers to a few quick questions, and then schedule your online marriage service with an authorized officiant!

Question 2

What States Offer Online Marriages?

Accepted Answer

Online marriage is available in several US states - most states limit availability to only certain couples in specific circumstances, while other states do not. Many states offering online applications still require the marriage ceremony to happen in person, and several states offered the option for online marriages during the COVID-19 pandemic, but have since changed back to only offering in-person marriages.

The laws governing online marriage are changing rapidly, but there's no need to worry. We maintain the most up-to-date information in order to recommend the best marriage options available for our customers as part of our Get Married Online package!

Question 3

Is There Any Difference Between Online Marriage and In-Person Marriage?

Accepted Answer

Besides the obvious difference of the marriage ceremony itself taking place via video conference, there is no legal difference between in-person marriage and a legal online marriage. In every state that offers any kind of online marriage option, the marriage license is the same and there is no distinction made between online or in-person marriages.

Question 4

Is Online Marriage Legal for Immigration?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The United States government treats all legal marriages in any state the same way for immigration - including legal marriages performed via web conference.

As an added benefit for our customers, Washington DC immigration attorney Joy Alegría Haynes has partnered with Online Marriage to offer all couples who book our Get Married Online package with a free 30-minute consultation to discuss their immigration case - a $375 value! Please note that this benefit is only available to paying customers of Online Marriage - read more about the immigration consultation here.

How Much Does Online Marriage Cost?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

How Do I Change My Name After Marriage?

Accepted Answer
