Ceremony Officiate & Celebrant
To Apply for a Marriage License in Florida

Both the Bride and Groom must visit the office in person, and at the same time.

The marriage license may be obtained in any county in the State of Florida.  It does not
have to be in the county where you are to be married.

Both the Bride and Groom must each bring 1 form of valid identification, and also give your
social security number.


The Ceremony must be performed within 60 days of the issuance of the license.

Florida Residents:  The fee is $93.50 and there is a 3-day waiting period before you can be
married.  If you take a Pre-Marital course, you receive a discount and there is no waiting
period.

Non-Florida Residents:  The fee is $93.50 and there is no waiting period or course
requirement.

Your valid marriage license must be presented to me prior to the ceremony being
performed.
