You are responsible for your Marriage License and Public Lands Permit

Eloping to Moab (and beyond to other beautiful Utah destinations) is actually rather easy.

Even if you want a small or large wedding with all your loved ones, there are simple ways to bring your nuptial dreams into reality. Can Elope happily assists you. Here’s some tips with links for license and permits. If you have any questions or would like to discuss more in depth, please contact us.

License:

To legally marry in Utah, you must be at least 18 years old and of sound mind demonstrating the capacity to make an informed and consenting choice to wed.

You will also need a marriage license.

If you desire to marry in Moab and therefore Grand County, you can contact the Grand County Clerk, and procure a physical document as part of your marriage license process in the days preceding your wedding. This serves Grand County only.

Serving the entire state of Utah, and therefore all counties, including Grand, is Utah County, which hosts a completely digital process.

Each method has advantages and you can choose what is the most appropriate process for your priorities.

Permits:

Can Elope Moab officiates outdoor elopements and weddings on public lands throughout Utah. You'll need a permit to elope at Arches National Park, Canyonlands, Zion, Bryce and other Utah public lands. Contact the respective offices directly to apply using the links below:

Arches | Canyonlands | BLM | Bryce | Zion | Goblin Valley | Bonneville Salt Flats | Grand Staircase Escalante | Dead Horse

There are other options besides public lands. If you’re curious, please contact us.

On the day of your wedding after the ceremony, your officiant and two witnesses, who are also of sound mind and over 18 years of age, will join you in signing your documents, physically or digitally.

Once this final 5 signature form is submitted and processed, you will be legally married.
