Florida Marriage Licenses

Identification: a picture ID such as a driver’s license, state ID card, or valid passport; both parties will also have to provide their Social Security numbers but do not need to provide their Social Security Cards.

Fees: $93.50. Marriage license fees can be reduced by up to $32.50 if you complete a licensed Florida premarital course.

A marriage license is valid for 60 days after issuance. You must perform the ceremony of marriage before this 60 days has expired.

Blood Tests are NOT required.

There is a 3-day waiting period after issuance of the license before you can get married (unless you have completed the Florida premarital course, in which case the waiting period is waived).

If you are NOT a FLORIDA RESIDENT, then the 3-day waiting period is waived as well! Florida Marriage Statutes can be found here.

If Divorced or Widowed: If previously married, the date of divorce or date of spouse’s death must be supplied. If the divorce or spouse’s death occurred within the past 30 days, a certified copy of the divorce decree or death certificate is required.
