Utah Marriage License FAQs

Is there a waiting period to get married in Utah?

No. Utah has no waiting period. You can apply for your marriage license at the County Clerk's office and get married on the exact same day. However, your marriage license is only valid for 32 days after it is issued, so make sure your ceremony takes place within that window!

How long does the premarital course take?

Utah law strictly requires a minimum of 3 hours of premarital education. Our online course is self-paced, meaning you can log in and out over several days, but you must accumulate 3 hours of coursework before your completion certificate is generated.

Why is my certificate mailed instead of emailed?

Many Utah County Clerks mandate that you present an original, physically signed and notarized document to claim your $20 discount. They often reject printed PDFs. To protect you from being turned away, Kristen Franzen personally signs, notarizes, and mails your original certificate via USPS.

Where do we go to get our marriage license?

In Utah, marriage licenses are issued by the County Clerk in each county. You and your partner will generally need to apply together in person, bringing your valid photo IDs and your original, notarized premarital course certificate.

Are all four course variations accepted by the state?

Yes! Whether you choose the Standard, Faith-Friendly, Inclusive, or Spanish track, your 3-hour curriculum is fully compliant with Utah Code § 30-1-34 and guarantees your $20 license discount.
