What Is a Same-Day Wedding Officiant and Why Might You Need One?
A same-day wedding officiant is a licensed professional authorized to perform a legal marriage ceremony and often, like us at Get Married Today, to also issue a marriage license and assist with post-ceremony documentation.
You may need a same-day wedding officiant if:
- You’re eloping and want a quick, private wedding.
- You’re applying for a marriage-based green card or immigration benefit.
- You’re a military couple needing to marry before deployment.
- You’re visiting from abroad and want a legal U.S. marriage before returning home.
- You need apostille certification to use your marriage certificate in another country.
