MARRIAGE LICENSE INFORMATION FOR YOUR FLORIDA BEACH WEDDING
You can apply for your marriage license in any county in the State of Florida. You must obtain your marriage license in person. The State of Florida does not require any blood tests.
If you are a resident of the State of Florida, you have two options: You may complete a premarital course and your fee will be reduced by $32.50 and there won't be a waiting period. You can opt not to take the course and have a waiting period of three days from the date you obtain your license.
If both the bride and 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 above--extra charges for the marriage license will apply for this service).
The fee for your marriage license is $93.50*. Once received, your marriage license will be valid for 60 days. Regardless of which Florida county you applied for license, the marriage may take place anywhere in the State of Florida.
After the wedding ceremony, your marriage license will be recorded by the officiant. Once you receive the recorded marriage license in the mail, you can start the process of changing your name!
