FLORIDA RESIDENTS have two options:

A listing of Pre-marital course providers may be purchased for $2.00. If the course is taken

PRIOR to applying for the marriage license you must bring in the CERTIFICATE OF

COMPLETION to show proof of completion but that provider must be on the list. If the couple

does this, it will waive the 3-day waiting period and cost only $61.00 for the license. If they

want to get married at the courthouse, they may do so for an additional $30.00 (cost of the

ceremony).

If the couple chooses NOT to take the pre-marital course, they will apply for the license, pay the

full price of $86.00 and wait the 3-day waiting period. If they want to come back to the

courthouse to get married, we will schedule an appointment at the time they obtain their license.

If one party is a FLORIDA RESIDENT and one an OUT-OF-STATE resident, the couple

obtain their license.

Any FLORIDA marriage license MUST be used in the state of FLORIDA; it CANNOT be

used in any other state. You may however use the license to marry in another Florida county, but

return the original license to the county that issued it.

If BOTH parties are OUT-OF-STATE RESIDENTS, the couple will apply for the marriage

license (to be used in FLORIDA ONLY), pay $86.00 (no 3-day waiting period) and if they

choose to marry the same day at the courthouse, they will need to pay an additional $30.00 for

the ceremony making their total cost $116.00.
