4. Marriage License Requirements

Customers are responsible for obtaining their own marriage license through the appropriate government authority.

Married Legally does not:

  • Submit marriage-license applications on behalf of customers unless expressly agreed as part of a specific service;

  • Process or approve marriage-license applications;

  • They are not currently married to another person unless legally permitted;

  • They are entering the marriage voluntarily;

The couple must obtain any required government approval or marriage license before the ceremony when required by applicable law.

Married Legally relies upon the approval, verification, and determination processes completed by the applicable government authority.

Where legally permitted and applicable to the customer’s circumstances, Married Legally may coordinate virtual marriage ceremonies using online video technology.

Virtual ceremony services may include:

  • Ceremony scheduling;

  • Virtual officiant participation;

  • Guest participation;

  • Ceremony coordination;

  • Personalized ceremony options;

  • Recording or other ceremony-related features when available.

The availability and requirements for a virtual ceremony may depend upon applicable laws, jurisdictional requirements, scheduling availability, technology, and the specific service package selected.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate information and complying with all requirements communicated to them before the ceremony.

Before participating in a ceremony, customers may be required to:

  • Verify their identity;

  • Provide required identification;

  • Confirm their voluntary participation;

  • Confirm that they meet applicable legal qualifications;

  • Complete other verification procedures reasonably required by Married Legally or the applicable government authority.

Married Legally officiants are legally authorized to solemnize marriages within the scope of their authority.

Married Legally may assign a substitute officiant or qualified third-party designee when reasonably necessary to complete a ceremony.

If an assigned officiant becomes unavailable, Married Legally may reschedule the ceremony at no additional cost. If a substitute officiant is required, Married Legally will cover any additional officiant expense associated with that substitution.

6. Witness Services

Some couples may request witnesses for their ceremony.

Where available, Married Legally may provide witnesses for an additional fee.

Witnesses may be independent contractors or third-party individuals assisting with the ceremony.

Customers acknowledge that witness participation does not guarantee acceptance, approval, or recognition of a marriage by any government agency or third party.

7. Marriage Certificates & Government Documentation

Where applicable, Married Legally may assist customers with obtaining or requesting marriage-related documentation.

Government-issued marriage certificates and other official records are controlled and issued by the applicable governmental authority.

Married Legally does not guarantee:

  • Issuance of a marriage certificate;

  • Acceptance of submitted documentation;

  • Processing times;

  • Availability of a particular certificate;

  • Timing of certificate delivery;

  • Acceptance of documentation by another government agency or third party.

Processing times may vary because of government processing, mailing services, documentation requirements, holidays, administrative delays, or other circumstances outside Married Legally’s control.

In Utah County, digital and physical certificates are processed and delivered by Utah County according to its procedures and timelines.

If a customer experiences delays, missing documents, mailing problems, or government-processing concerns, the customer should contact the applicable government office directly. Married Legally may assist customers in communicating with the applicable government authority when appropriate, but cannot guarantee resolution.

8. Apostille & Authentication Disclaimer

Married Legally does not guarantee apostille or authentication approval, acceptance, or processing times.

Where offered, Married Legally may provide general guidance or assistance concerning apostille or authentication processes.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that their documents satisfy the requirements of the receiving country, government agency, organization, or other recipient.

Government agencies or authorized entities retain authority over apostille and authentication decisions.

9. Immigration & Legal Services Disclaimer

Married Legally may provide or coordinate immigration-related consultations, document assistance, preparation support, interview preparation, or other immigration-related services where applicable.

Married Legally does not guarantee:

  • Visa approval;

  • Immigration approval;

  • Permanent residence;

  • Citizenship;

  • Work authorization;

  • Any other immigration benefit;

  • Any particular legal or administrative outcome.

Immigration decisions are made by applicable government authorities.

Where legal services are provided by a qualified attorney or law firm, those services may be governed by separate engagement agreements, privacy policies, professional obligations, and attorney-client relationships.

Submitting an inquiry through Married Legally does not automatically establish an attorney-client relationship with any attorney or law firm unless and until such a relationship is formally established according to the applicable legal professional’s procedures.

Customers seeking legal advice should consult a qualified attorney.

10. Payments

Payment is required in full at the time of purchase unless otherwise expressly stated in writing.

Payments may be processed through third-party payment processors, including Stripe.

Because Married Legally services may require immediate scheduling, preparation, coordination, reservation of resources, and allocation of officiant or other service-provider time, payments are generally non-refundable once submitted, except where a refund is expressly required by applicable law or specifically authorized by Married Legally.

11. Refund Policy

Except where otherwise required by applicable law, refunds are not provided for:

Nothing in this section is intended to waive any right to a refund or other remedy that cannot legally be waived.

12. Rescheduling Policy

Married Legally understands that circumstances may change. However, rescheduling requires additional preparation, scheduling, coordination, and allocation of resources.

A $40 rescheduling fee applies when:

  • A customer requests rescheduling within 30 days of the scheduled ceremony date;

  • A customer cancels and requests a new ceremony date;

  • A customer fails to appear for a scheduled ceremony;

  • A customer arrives more than 10 minutes late;

  • Customer technology, equipment, or internet problems prevent completion of the ceremony.

If Married Legally must reschedule because of officiant availability or technical problems caused by Married Legally, the rescheduling fee will not apply.

Married Legally may require additional fees when a customer requests services outside the scope of the original service purchased.

13. Technology Disclaimer

Online services and virtual ceremonies require reliable internet access and functioning devices.

Customers are responsible for having appropriate equipment, internet access, audio, video, and other technology necessary to participate.

Married Legally may photograph, record, or capture screenshots during ceremonies and other services when appropriate.

By participating in a Married Legally ceremony, customers grant Married Legally permission to use photographs, videos, screenshots, testimonials, reviews, names, and wedding stories for marketing, educational, promotional, and informational purposes.

This permission may include use on:

  • Advertising materials;

  • Promotional materials;

  • Educational materials;

  • Other Married Legally marketing channels.

Customers may opt out of marketing use by submitting a written request by email to Married Legally.
