Military Online Marriage: Say 'I Do' From Anywhere

Yes! Your Utah marriage certificate is 100% legally valid and recognized by all military branches (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Space Force) and the Department of Defense. It's the same legal document you'd receive from any in-person wedding.

Absolutely! That's exactly what our service is designed for. As long as you have internet access for a video call, you can get legally married from anywhere in the world - whether you're in a forward operating base, aboard a ship, or stationed at a remote location.

You can begin the DEERS enrollment process as soon as you receive your digital marriage certificate, which is typically within 24 hours of your ceremony. You'll have everything you need to visit your nearest ID card office.

For most couples, yes. Unlike proxy marriages where someone stands in for you, both partners actively participate in an online ceremony. It's available worldwide (proxy is limited to 4-5 states), has simpler requirements, and you get to experience your own wedding. Plus, there's no complex power of attorney paperwork.

Your BAH entitlement begins from your marriage date. However, processing typically takes 3-5 weeks through your finance office. The good news is you'll receive back pay from your marriage date once approved. Use our BAH calculator to see your expected increase.

You'll need a valid government-issued photo ID (military ID, driver's license, or passport works), your Social Security number, and if previously married, your divorce decree. That's it - no special military paperwork required for the ceremony itself.
