Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the state will begin allowing marriage licenses to be granted remotely, and, for clerks to conduct ceremonies over video.

‘there is now no excuse when the question comes up for marriage,’ he said during his Saturday briefing.’you can do it by zoom.’.

I am issuing an executive order allowing New Yorkers to obtain a marriage license remotely. Allowing clerks to perform ceremonies via video conference.

One of the States hardest hit by the coronavirus, New York is under a stay-at-home order. # zoomweddings have become a popular way for brides and grooms to keep their wedding dates.

New York couples who were planning marriage did n’t have their licenses yet to get the necessary paperwork handled via video. There does n’t seem to be any requirement that couples have to use zoom for their license application and ceremony.
