Digital Marriage Services Lag Behind Despite Technological Advancements
Despite significant advancements in digital services across various sectors, the process of obtaining a marriage license in the United States remains largely outdated. According to a report by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), there is a notable 'digital marriage divide' across the country. While some states, referred to as 'E-Lopers,' have embraced digital processes allowing couples to apply for and receive marriage licenses online, others still require in-person visits and paper documentation. Utah County, Utah, is highlighted as a leader in digital marriage services, offering fully digital licenses and certificates verified through blockchain technology. In contrast, many states fall into the 'Paper Trailers' or 'In-Personals' categories, where digital processes are either partially implemented or nonexistent, requiring physical visits and manual paperwork.
