Absolutely! International couples are welcome. You don't need to be U.S. citizens or residents, and you'll receive a state-issued U.S. marriage certificate.

Many couples use this marriage exactly that way. Utah marriages have a solid track record in U.S. immigration cases, with one rule worth knowing: if you and your partner were in different places during the ceremony, U.S. law treats the marriage as valid for immigration only once you have spent time together in person after the wedding (and before you file). If you were in the same room for your video ceremony, that rule does not come into play. Your certificate is a standard state-issued U.S. marriage certificate. Every case has its own facts, so talk to an immigration attorney before filing.
