In addition to the names as they appear on the marriage license (maiden name), you’ll need the marriage license number to place an order. You’ll begin by searching the marriage license records by name. Take note of the marriage license number to enter during checkout.

Have digital images of your ID and a Selfie ready to upload

Marriage documents can only be released to the people who are listed on the marriage certificate, or those with a direct, tangible, and legitimate interest. You will be asked to upload images of your ID and Selfie; they will be manually verified by our staff when processing your order.

If you are ordering a marriage document for someone other than yourself, contact us at marriage@utahcounty.gov or 801-851-8109 to determine what additional document you will need to upload.
