          MARRIAGE LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

You do not have to be a resident of Florida to apply for a marriage license however; both parties must be present when applying. One of the following forms of identification is required for each party to obtain a marriage license:

·         Driver's License issued in the United States

·         Federal or State Identification card; or

·         Passport showing your name and date of birth.     

Birth certificates or green cards are not acceptable. A blood test is not required.                

If either party was married before, the manner in which the last marriage ended and the exact date the marriage ended is required. Copies of the death certificate or Final Decree of Divorce, Dissolution or Annulment are not required.

The cost of a license is $88.50. Residents of the State of Florida have the option of attending a premarital course from a registered provider, or waiting 3 days, as Florida law requires, for the marriage license to become effective. A directory of the premarital course providers is available at all court locations. If a certificate of completion is provided at the time of application, you will receive a cost reduction of $32.50 and the 3-day waiting period will be waived.

If one applicant is a Florida resident and the other is not they may both attend the course to receive the full benefit. If only the Florida resident attends the course the 3-day waiting period will be waived, but there will be no discount.

A license is valid in any county in the State of Florida . It is valid for 60 days and no extensions may be made.
