Online Marriage in Utah for Immigrants and Israeli Citizens
Civil marriage for repatriates in Israel – simple, official and without leaving the country
Are you or a loved one an immigrant to Israel and are facing the inability to marry officially? There is no civil marriage institution in Israel—all marriages are performed exclusively through religious institutions. This creates difficulties for many couples, especially those:
- repatriates whose documents do not meet the requirements of the rabbinate;
- mixed couples where one of the partners is not Jewish according to Halacha;
- same-sex couples whose unions are not recognized by religious authorities;
- partners of different faiths who are prohibited from marrying in Israel.
Online Marriage in Utah – The Solution for You

Recognition in Israel
In 2023, Israel's Supreme Court ruled that the Interior Ministry must recognize marriages performed online in Utah, even if both partners were physically present in Israel during the ceremony. The ruling paved the way for many couples who had previously been unable to formalize their relationships.
Recognition of a Utah marriage in Israel has long been a reliable and sought-after solution for couples who are unable or unwilling to marry within the country.
Impact on the STUPRO procedure
If you are planning to start the family reunification procedure (STUPRO) with a foreign partner, an online marriage in Utah is now sufficient grounds for filing documents. This is especially true for couples where one of the partners does not have legal status in Israel or is unable to leave the country.

For use in Israel (for example, for filing in Israel Ministry of the Interior - Misrad HaPnim(Changing family status in the population register, applying for family reunification, or undergoing the so-called step-by-step process of status legalization – STUPRO) will require an apostille.
