TO GET MARRIED IN FLORIDA YOU NEED TO DO THE FOLLOWING:

• Go together to the nearest Clerk of the Circuit Court office to obtain a marriage license.
• Marriage licenses are good for 60 days.
• The standard fee is $93.50, which can typically be paid with cash, charge or personal check.
• Florida residents must wait three days to get a license. However residents who can provide documentation showing they completed a state-approved marriage preparation course within the year don’t have to wait the three days. (The pastors at Celebration use the “Pre-Marriage Awareness Inventory” with topics including conflict management, financial and parenting responsibilities.)
• As a bonus, residents who take the course get a reduction of $32.50 off the license fee.
• It’s not necessary for residents to obtain licenses from their home county.
• As soon as a Florida license is obtained, a wedding ceremony can be performed anywhere in the state of Florida.
• To obtain a marriage license, U.S citizens must provide their social security numbers and photo identification, such as driver’s licenses. International visitors must bring passports, or naturalization or immigration numbers.
• People who have been married previously must provide the date of divorce, annulment or spouse’s death.
• With a few exceptions, both the bride and groom are required to be 18.
• Florida doesn’t require blood tests or medical exams.
• Contact the local clerk of the circuit court for further information.
