MARRIAGE LICENSE INFORMATION
You can apply for your marriage license in any Florida County.  
You must obtain your own marriage license in person, and you
must have a Florida marriage license to get married in Florida.  In
some counties you can start the process on-line, but you must
pick up the license in person.  There are no blood test
requirements in the State of Florida.

State of Florida residents:  There is a three-day waiting period.  To
waive the three day waiting period, you can complete a premarital
course and you will not have to wait three days (the license fee
will also be reduced).

Out of State residents:  If both the bride AND the groom are not
residents of the State of Florida, there is NO waiting period (if you
want to order your marriage license by mail, click on the link
below--extra charges for the marriage license will apply for this
service).

As of January 2009, the fee for a Florida Marriage License is
$93.50* The marriage license is good for 60 days from the date of
issuance.  Regardless of which Florida County you receive your
license is, you wedding ceremony may take place anywhere in
the State of Florida.

After your wedding ceremony, your marriage license will be filled
out and mailed in to the County  of issuance to be recorded.  You
will receive your recorded copy in the mail from the Florida
County.  Once you receive the recorded copy, you can start the
process of changing your name.
