Understand the ceremony
What is a civil marriage?
A civil marriage is a legal marriage performed by an authorized officiant rather than a religious ceremony. You complete the license, ceremony and filing requirements without needing a religious wedding.
Online describes how you attend. Civil describes the kind of ceremony. Your wedding takes place live on Zoom with your partner, officiant and witnesses.
An officiant leads the ceremony
You take part live while the officiant guides you through the required declarations.
A certificate after filing
After the marriage is completed and filed, the official certificate process begins.
Three parts, one marriage
Your application, ceremony and certificate each have a purpose
Completing an online form is preparation for the wedding. You become married through the required ceremony, followed by filing of the marriage record.
That distinction helps you know which step you’re on and which document you’re looking for.
Before the ceremony
Your license allows the marriage ceremony to take place. Follow the instructions in your account, complete the application and identity checks, then upload the issued license.
During the ceremony
You and your partner participate live, freely declare your intent to marry and take part with an authorized officiant and witnesses. The officiant guides the legal ceremony.
After the ceremony
The required filing is completed and your certificate is issued through the official process. Keep your marriage certificate with your important records.
A civil wedding in real life
Choose the setting around the people who need to be there
Side by side at home
You can sit together at a table or in another comfortable spot, using one device that clearly shows both partners. Check the sound and camera position before joining.
Joining from different places
Each partner needs a suitable device and reliable connection. Confirm the ceremony time in each location and choose somewhere you can participate without interruptions.
With a few loved ones
Ask about the guests you would like to include. Your required witnesses are part of the legal ceremony, whether you also invite guests or keep it small.
If you plan to use your marriage for immigration or abroad, the partners’ locations and the receiving office’s requirements can matter. Explore the relevant guide before deciding on your plans.
Deciding what fits
A civil wedding and a celebration can have different dates
You may want the legal step now and a larger gathering later. Or a simple ceremony may be the complete wedding you want. Neither requires you to arrange a venue for our online ceremony.
