Couples in New York can now get their marriage license online, and have official ceremonies over video chat.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an order allowing online marriages, as many weddings are cancelled under lockdown restrictions. From now on, people in the state will be able to apply for marriage licences remotely and clerks allowed to conduct ceremonies virtually.
Gov Cuomo joked that the decision meant there was now “no excuse” for couples not to tie the knot.
New York isn’t the first place to put weddings online, The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has also announced that citizens and residents would be allowed to get married online.
NEW: I am issuing an Executive Order allowing New Yorkers to obtain a marriage license remotely and allowing clerks to perform ceremonies via video conference.
