Under 18: Utah law states that marriage at the age of 18 years and above does not require parental consent. For those aged 16-17, parental consent is necessary. For those 15 years old, the following requirements must be met:

�  Parental consent must be obtained.

�  Approval from Juvenile Court is necessary. The court must conclude that the marriage    is voluntary and in the best interests of the minor.

�  The court may require premarital counseling where and when appropriate.

Common Law Marriage: Yes. A common law marriage is a situation where a man and woman have never had a formal wedding ceremony but may be declared husband and wife. Filing for common law marriage will allow the court to assist in matters such as custody or the division of property. Utah does recognize the validity of common law marriages. In order for a common law marriage to be filed, the following qualifications must be met:

�  Both parties must be competent and able to give consent.

�  Both must be able to be married.

�  Both must be living together as man and wife.

�  Both have assumed marital responsibilities and duties.

�  Both must have "held themselves out" as husband and wife such that others perceived them to be married.

Cousin Marriage: Yes. If both cousins are over the age of 65, or over the age of 55 and can prove sterility. This is a very important exception, as many cousins do get married in their senior years.

Proxy Marriages: No. Both parties must be present.

Same Sex Marriage: No.

Officiants: Ministers of the gospel or priests of any denomination who are in regular communion with any religious society may perform marriages. Ministers must provide a certificate of marriage to the county clerk who issued the marriage license within 30 days after the marriage.

Miscellaneous: A minister, rabbi, priest, mayor, judge, county clerk, Native American spiritual adviser, the Governor, court commissioners and judges, as well as particular members of the legislature. If you wish to be married by a county clerk, call your local county clerk office to set up an appointment. You must additionally bring two witnesses over the age of 18 and pay an additional fee for the ceremony.

Valid: License is valid for 30 days. The license can only be used within the State of Utah.
