Proxy Marriage in Kansas – How Does it Work?

A proxy marriage, where one party is not physically present and is represented by someone else, is possible in Kansas. A proxy marriage is a marriage where the couple cannot be together for their ceremony for a wide variety of reasons including military, incarceration, foreign country, illness, etc. Our location in Overland Park, Kansas, gives us the unique ability to facilitate proxy marriages that must happen in the State of Kansas.

The state of Kansas allows proxy representation, where a 3rd party is given legal authority to represent or stand in for someone else. When a couple wishes to be married but cannot both attend due to various reasons, a “single proxy marriage” can resolve the issue of distance. In the state of Kansas, you CAN be legally married as long as one of you is physically present for the ceremony. The other can attend via proxy and there are NO residency requirements. A proxy wedding is also available to same sex couples. When planning your proxy marriage here are some simple steps to follow:
