In the US state of Utah, it is now possible to get married online. The previously difficult and long-term planning process is made easier by the fact that online weddings can be booked through an agency, which organizes the registrar and prepares all the documents for the marriage. The couple can say “I do” from the comfort of their own home in front of a computer camera. Friends and acquaintances can also be present via a video call. A civil marriage is thus legally valid.


In Germany it is not possible to get married online. The bride and groom must be present in person at a wedding ceremony.


In Austria, on the other hand, foreign marriage certificates are recognized due to the IPR. Foreign marriage certificates do not first have to be adapted to Austrian law in a complex recognition process, but are valid from the outset. 


A valid marriage certificate makes it easier to obtain a residence permit and Austrian citizenship.
