FAQ

01
Is an online wedding legally binding?
Yes. Every LoveLife wedding is performed under U.S. law, with a government-issued marriage license, an authorized officiant, and two witnesses. After your ceremony, the court issues your legal, certified marriage certificate, recognized in all 50 states.
Do we need to live in the U.S. or be U.S. citizens?
No. There are no residency or citizenship requirements. You both need to be 18 or older and not currently married to anyone else. You can be from anywhere, and be anywhere.
Will my country recognize our marriage?
Your marriage is legally performed and registered in the U.S. Many couples use their certificate abroad, but every country sets its own rules for recognizing foreign marriages, and some require an apostille, which we can help you obtain. We are not attorneys and cannot give legal advice, so please confirm the requirements with your local authorities before you book.
Can same-sex couples get married with LoveLife?
Absolutely. Every couple is welcome. Same-sex marriage is legal throughout the United States, and we’re honored to officiate weddings for all couples.
Can we use our marriage for immigration or a visa?
Many couples do, but immigration rules vary by country and by case. We are not attorneys and cannot give legal advice, so we recommend speaking with a qualified immigration attorney before your ceremony.
02
How soon can we get married?
Most couples book a few days to a few weeks ahead, choosing the date that’s right for them. If you’d like to get married the same day, we just need at least 6 hours’ notice once you meet the requirements — we officiate weddings 24/7.
Do we need to be in the same place?
No. You can be in different cities or even different countries. As long as you’re both on the video call and give your consent, your marriage is legal.
How long does the ceremony last?
It depends on your package: up to 5, 10, 20, or 40 minutes. You can also add 15 or 30 minutes of celebration time when you book.
Can we say our own vows?
Yes. Personal vows, a ring exchange, and special words from your officiant are all welcome, and longer ceremonies leave more room to make it your own. For The Long One, please give us at least one week’s notice so your officiant can prepare.
What do we need on the day?
A device with a camera, a good internet connection, and a quiet spot. Your ceremony takes place on Zoom, and we send your link and reminders ahead of time.
Can we reschedule?
Yes, at no charge. Use the link in your scheduling confirmation email, or reach out to us and we’ll help.
03
How do we get our marriage license?
Your marriage license is issued by Utah County, Utah. You apply online, 24/7, through the Utah County Clerk at clerk.utahcounty.gov. It takes about 45 minutes, and you don’t need to live in or travel to Utah. Under Utah law, the couple must complete the application themselves, and no company can do it for you. Each of you fills out your own part, together or separately, whenever it’s convenient, and we’re here to help as needed. Once your license is issued, add your officiant’s email, info@lovelifewedding.com. The license fee is paid directly to Utah County: $72 in the U.S., or $150 internationally.
What information is needed for the license?
A valid government-issued photo ID, your full names, birthdates, current address, and birthplaces, your parents’ names and birthplaces (including your mother’s maiden name), and Social Security numbers, unless you don’t have one.
How long is the license valid?
There’s no waiting period. Once issued, your license is valid for 32 days, so you can get married as soon as you’re ready.
What if one of us was recently divorced?
If either of you was divorced within the past 60 days, you’ll need a copy of your divorce decree.
Why do you need our IDs?
Because we don’t meet in person, we confirm that the names on your marriage license belong to you. You upload your IDs securely from your wedding account, straight to our protected storage, never this website.
04
Do we need witnesses?
Yes, two witnesses are required for every ceremony. Bring your own, family or friends who join the video call, or add LoveLife witnesses for $25 each.
Can family and friends join the ceremony?
Absolutely. Guests can join your ceremony on the video call from anywhere in the world. We can also create your own personal wedding page that livestreams your ceremony, so family and friends can watch right in their browser, no Zoom needed.
How many guests can we invite?
You can send up to 100 invite links to family and friends.
Is our ceremony recorded?
Yes. Your ceremony is recorded and sent to you afterward, a keepsake to watch again and share. You’ll also find it in your wedding account.
05
When do we receive our marriage certificate?
You’ll receive a digital copy of your certified marriage certificate by email immediately after your ceremony. A physical certified copy is then mailed to you from the courts in Utah County within 3 business days.
Can we order extra marriage certificates?
Yes. Extra certified copies are $50 each, with about 2 weeks of processing. Add as many as you need when you book, or anytime from your wedding account.
What is an apostille, and do we need one?
An apostille certifies your marriage certificate for official use in another country. Paper apostilles are $70 and digital apostilles are $115, with about 2 weeks of processing, or 3 business days with expedited processing (+$150). Check with the authorities where you’ll use your certificate to see if one is required.
How does shipping work?
Shipping applies only to paper apostilles and extra certificates. USPS is free, and Domestic Rush ($50) and FedEx ($65, U.S. and international) are also available. Digital apostilles are emailed.
06
What’s included in the price?
Every package includes a certified officiant, a Zoom ceremony for up to 100 guests, a free livestream and personal wedding page, your wedding video, guidance every step of the way, and timely reminders. The marriage license fee is paid separately to the government.
How do we pay?
You pay securely at checkout with a credit or debit card, or with other options shown at checkout, such as Klarna or Affirm. Your wedding account is created when you book.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you cancel at least 48 hours before your scheduled ceremony, you receive a full refund. If you cancel within 48 hours of your ceremony, you receive a refund minus a $100 fee. Once your scheduled ceremony date and time has passed, whether or not the ceremony took place, no refund is available.
We’re here to help, 24/7. Call or text +1 (385) 315-4545, or email info@lovelifewedding.com.
