How New Jersey Residents Get Married Online
New Jersey does NOT offer online marriage services - all New Jersey marriage licenses require in-person application at the local registrar's office and in-person ceremony. New Jersey has a 72-hour waiting period after obtaining the license. However, New Jersey residents CAN get married online through Utah's established program! You obtain a Utah marriage license 100% online, complete your ceremony via video with our licensed Utah officiants, and your marriage is fully recognized in New Jersey under the Full Faith and Credit Clause.
