Be Aware! 3 Day waiting period for Florida residents. No waiting period for non-residents!

In order for couples to marry in the State of Florida, they need a marriage license.  The cost of the license is $93.50.*  Most of the fee goes to local charities.  Your marriage license can be attained at most courthouses in the state. You do not have to be married in the county that you get the license.  Please check your local county for rules.  There is a three day waiting period for Florida residents.  This is waived for nonresidents.

To obtain a Marriage License in:

Miami-Dade County 

Broward County (Fort Lauderdale Locations)

Palm Beach County

*For Fla. residents there is a discount offered for a premarital course.  Check with your county.

My most frequently asked question about the Marriage License is:

 When do we get our marriage license back after the wedding?

 This generally varies with different courthouses, but a rule of thumb is 4-6 weeks after the wedding. Your best bet is to ask the courthouse clerk when you originally receive your license.
