Absolutely — and Colorado is one of the rare states where the answer comes in two flavors. The online ceremony runs through Utah: a licensed officiant leads a real wedding by video — vows, rings, the pronouncement — and the two required witnesses can dial in from wherever they happen to be, whether that's a Denver living room or a base overseas. Colorado then recognizes the marriage under the Full Faith and Credit Clause. The second path is Colorado's own: self-solemnize, marry yourselves with no officiant, for about $30. The rest of this page weighs the two against each other plainly so you can tell which fits.

Yes. Colorado Revised Statutes § 14-2-109 allows the parties to a marriage to solemnize it themselves. No officiant and no witnesses are required — your two signatures on the Colorado marriage license are all the law needs. This is genuinely legal and unusual; most states don't allow it.

About $30 for the marriage license, and that's essentially it. What you get is a legally valid marriage — but no ceremony, no officiant, no vows led by anyone, and no witnesses. It's the legal act of signing a form. For some couples that's perfect; others find it anticlimactic.

For the experience, not the legality. The Utah route gives you a licensed officiant who leads a real ceremony by video — vows, rings, the pronouncement, a moment that feels like a wedding — and you can do it from anywhere. Self-solemnization gives you a signature. If you want someone to actually marry you, that's the difference.

Yes — and this is the part Colorado couples most often double-check. A valid Utah marriage is recognized in Colorado under the Full Faith and Credit Clause, and a Colorado self-solemnized marriage is recognized under C.R.S. § 14-2-109; once the paperwork is on file, nothing downstream can tell the two apart. Either certificate updates your name at the Colorado DMV, files cleanly with the Colorado Department of Revenue, and carries through for benefits, insurance, property and every other legal use.

You need a Colorado marriage license, whose requirements vary by county. The Utah online route has no residency requirement at all, which is one reason out-of-state couples who like the 'no officiant needed' idea sometimes choose Utah instead — it works from anywhere without a county visit.

Yes. For a Colorado self-solemnized marriage, the completed certificate must be returned to the county clerk and recorder within 63 days, or late fees apply. With the Utah online route, recording is handled as part of the process and your certificate is delivered to you.

Yes — that's a classic Colorado choice, and it's legal as long as you have the license and both sign. If you'd rather have someone officiate a real ceremony but keep things simple and remote, the Utah video option is the alternative. Either way you end up legally married in Colorado.
