A Florida marriage license is required to get married on Florida's beaches. Obtaining your license is a quick, simple process. The online resources for this information can be contradictory, so we've compiled accurate guidelines here and are happy to go over this info with you!
The bride and groom must apply together, with valid state or federal identification, in person at a Florida County Clerk's office during regular business hours. The Clerk's office keeps federal and state business hours and observes all federal holidays. HERE is a list of federal and state holidays.
There is no waiting period, no blood test, and no class/counseling program required. Your Florida marriage license is valid for 60 days. You will need to know your SSN, date of birth, address, and (if) divorce decree date. You will not need your birth certificate, SSN card or, divorce papers. If either of you are a Florida resident you must apply for your license at least 3 days in advance of your wedding date.
The Florida application fee is $93.50 in most counties (some have small additional charges). Witnesses at the ceremony are optional. Non-Florida residents can receive a marriage license without going to the clerk's office for a fee by contacting Sherry Matthews Consulting, click HERE.
