We love, Remotely
The "Utah Loophole" refers to Utah County, Utah's remote marriage licensing and online wedding system, which legally permits couples worldwide to obtain a marriage license and tie the knot completely online via video conference without residency or citizenship requirements.
No Residency or Citizenship:
Neither partner needs to live in or be a citizen of the United States.
Virtual Ceremonies:
The entire ceremony can be conducted remotely over video, provided the officiant is registered in Utah County and the couple and witnesses are virtually present.
Legal Recognition:
Because Utah County explicitly accommodates digital applications and remote video solemnization under state marriage statutes, the resulting marriage certificate is legally binding and internationally recognized.
Your Decentralized Wedding with Just Existing
Leverage this framework to get married remotely with a Just Existing officiant.
Step 1:
Coordinate the Officiant. Email justexisting.online@gmail.com to get matched with an available Just Existing Officiant who is authorized to solemnize marriages under Utah jurisdiction. Subject "Spouse 1/Spouse 2 Remote Wedding" to assist with processing your request.
Step 2:
Apply for the Utah County Marriage License. Both partners fill out the online application via the Utah County Clerk’s Office website. There are no blood tests or in-person appearances required.
Step 3:
Schedule the Virtual Ceremony & Select a Package. Coordinate the video link with your Just Existing Officiant for the day of the ceremony and choose from transparent pricing tiers based on your needs. $250 for a Quick Legal service to $500-1500 for a Custom ceremony(depending on complexity of desired virtual ceremony), plus a separate $70 to $71 Utah County license fee. Ensure you have two online witnesses present as required by the state.
Step 4:
Finalize Documentation. Following the digital ceremony, the officiant signs off on the license electronically through the Utah County portal, and the official marriage certificate is issued shortly after.
