How to Get Married Online in Wyoming (Complete 2026 Guide)

If you’re searching for a fast, stress-free, and fully legal way to get married in Wyoming, an online wedding might be the perfect choice. Traditional weddings often involve trips to the courthouse, scheduling appointments, and managing lots of paperwork — all of which can be time-consuming.

With an online marriage, couples can complete the entire process from the comfort of home — legally, safely, and efficiently.

This guide walks Wyoming couples through everything they need to know about getting married online, including legality, requirements, and how Distant Weddings makes the process simple.

What Does “Getting Married Online” Mean for Wyoming Couples?

In Wyoming, traditional marriages usually require:

  • Appearing in person at the County Clerk’s office to obtain a marriage license
  • Conducting a ceremony with witnesses present

However, Wyoming residents can legally get married online using Utah’s digital marriage license system, which is recognized nationwide.

Marriages legally performed in any U.S. state are automatically recognized in Wyoming, as long as they comply with federal and state laws. This is what makes a fully online wedding possible.

Are Online Marriages Legal in Wyoming?

Yes — and here’s why.

A Modern Digital Marriage System

Utah County created the first fully online marriage system in 2019. Through this platform, couples can:

  • Apply for a marriage license online
  • Hold a virtual wedding ceremony
  • Have an officiant submit all paperwork electronically
  • Receive a valid U.S. marriage certificate

You don’t have to live in Utah to use this service — making it accessible to couples everywhere, including Wyoming.

Nationwide Recognition

Marriages completed via Utah’s digital system are legally recognized in all 50 states, including Wyoming.

This is the foundation that allows Distant Weddings to provide fully remote marriage services.

Traditional Wyoming Marriage Requirements (In-Person)

If you prefer a traditional ceremony in Wyoming, here’s what’s required:

ID Requirements

Both partners must appear in person and provide:

  • Driver’s license
  • State ID
  • Passport
  • Military ID

(Some counties may also require a birth certificate.)

Additional Details

You’ll need to provide:

  • Full legal names, birth dates, and birthplaces
  • Parents’ full names and birthplaces
  • Information about previous marriages
  • Desired post-marriage name (optional)

License Validity

A Wyoming marriage license is valid for 30 days.

Witness & Ceremony Rules

  • The ceremony must have at least one witness
  • Must be performed in Wyoming
  • Fees, waiting periods, and requirements vary by county

Because of these requirements, many couples opt for an online wedding to save time and avoid the hassle.

Online Marriage License vs. Full Online Marriage
