License Information | A Perfect Moment

Getting married in Utah requires a few things – the couple, the minister and the license. Obtaining a license in Utah is relatively an easy thing, if you follow a few simple rules.

Wedding Licenses are available at any County Clerk’s office and are good for 30 days. You can use a license anywhere in Utah – you are not required to get your marriage license in the same county in which you would like to be married. You can simply go to the closest County Clerk to you. Utah wedding licenses are valid only in Utah and cannot be used to be married out of state. Other state’s requirements might be different than Utah, so be sure to check with the authorities in the state you wish to be married to make sure you have all the information you need.

In Salt Lake County, the couple must apply for a license in person at 2001 South State Street, South Building, second floor between the hours of 8 am – 5 pm Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). You can save some time by filling out the application for a Marriage License before you arrive. You can find the application here: SLCounty Marriage License Application

1. $40 license fee, cash, check or credit card (The license fee is non-refundable and includes two certified copies)
