In fact, the marriage certificate is exactly the same one you would receive in person. The ONLY difference is that your signatures will be authorized by one of the proxies.

Montana marries hundreds of military men and women via double proxy marriage every year. This LEGAL marriage is recognized by all branches of the military, every state (except Iowa), and most countries. Because Montana is the only state that allows a double proxy marriage, we get many questions from prospective brides and grooms.
For example, “Do we have to be together to have a double proxy marriage”. The answer is NO. The law is such that our deployed military can marry their sweethearts so that they CAN be together. The prospective bride and groom will send in the paperwork separately and we will take care of the rest.

In law, a proxy is a representative authorized to stand in for another person in legal matters. A double proxy marriage is one where the bride and groom are unable to physically be together for the ceremony, so they appoint a “stand-in” to take their place. Montana is the only state in the union that allows double proxy marriages, and Armed Forces Proxy Marriages is wholly located within Montana so that we can keep your costs low and service quick.
Traditionally, proxy marriages were very common. As I mentioned earlier, a proxy is a well established legal concept and used daily in corporate and contract law. Combine that with the historic difficulties in travel, and a proxy marriage was a perfect solution for European royalty and even Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.
Building from that proud tradition, Montana continues to offer double proxy marriages to active duty members of the armed forces. So no matter where you are stationed, and no matter where your loved-one is living, the two of you can be legally married in a Montana civil ceremony. Contact Armed Forces Proxy Marriages today to begin the process. We are available by phone 24 hours a day and respond to email as frequently as possible.
So what are you waiting for? Just because you’re separated from your loved-one doesn’t mean you should have to wait to get married.
