Utah Marriage License FAQs
Do both me and my partner need to pay for the course?
No! The single enrollment fee of $18.97 covers both partners. You do not need to register or pay twice. Both of you can work through the 6-hour interactive curriculum together on any device, and upon finishing, our system automatically generates your valid MED code and individual certificates of completion for both individuals to submit.
Is there a waiting period to get married in Utah?
No. Utah has no waiting period. You can apply for your marriage license through the online portal and get married on the exact same day it is issued. However, your marriage license is only valid for 32 days, so make sure your ceremony takes place within that window!
How long does the premarital course take?
Utah law strictly requires a minimum of 6 hours of premarital education. Our online course is self-paced, meaning you can log in and out over several days, but you must accumulate 6 hours of coursework before your MED code unlocks.
Do I have to go to the courthouse in person to get the discount?
No! In fact, the $20 discount is specifically designed for Utah’s digital marriage license portals. You will apply 100% online through either the Utah County or Tooele County systems, regardless of where you live in the state. At checkout, you simply enter the MED code we provide you to instantly waive the state fee.
Where do we go to get our marriage license?
You don’t have to go anywhere. Because a marriage license issued by any county in Utah is valid for a ceremony anywhere in the state, couples statewide use the Utah County digital portal or Tooele County digital portal to apply online from their living room, upload their photo IDs, and use their MED code.
Are all four course variations accepted by the state?
Yes! Whether you choose the Standard, Faith-Friendly, Inclusive, or Spanish track, your 6-hour curriculum is fully compliant with Utah Code § 30-1-34 and automatically generates your valid MED code.
