Determine Eligibility

• Age Requirement: Both parties must be at least 18 years old. Minors aged 17 can marry with parental consent and if the other party is no more than 2 years older.
• Identification: Both parties need to present valid photo identification such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport.

Gather Necessary Documents

• Identification: Valid photo ID (driver’s license, state ID, passport).
• Proof of Age: Birth certificate (especially if under 18).
• Previous Marriages: If previously married, provide the exact date of divorce or death certificate of the former spouse.

Apply for the License

• In-Person Application: Visit a local Florida courthouse or Clerk of Court’s office. (Schedule an Appointment: It's recommended to call ahead or check online for appointment availability.)
• Online Application: Some counties offer online pre-application forms to expedite the process. Check your local county’s Clerk of Court website for this option.

Pay the Fees

• Standard Fee: The cost is typically around $93.50.
• Discount: Florida residents who complete a state-approved premarital course can receive a discount, reducing the fee to around $61.

Understand the Waiting Period

• Florida Residents: There's a three-day waiting period unless a premarital course is completed.
• Non-Residents: No waiting period; you can use the license immediately.

Receive Your License

• Validity: The license is valid for 60 days from the date of issuance.
• Ceremony: Must take place within this period and be performed by an authorized officiant who forms same day, last minute wedding ceremonies.

Special Scenarios

• First-Time Marriages: Follow the standard steps outlined above.
• Remarriages - Provide the exact date of divorce or death certificate of the former spouse.
• Non-U.S. Citizens - Must provide a valid passport as identification and meet the same requirements as U.S. citizens.

Tips and Common Pitfalls

• Double-Check Requirements: Confirm specific county requirements as they can vary.
• Avoid Last-Minute Rush: Start the process early to avoid any delays.
• Premarital Course: Consider taking a state-approved premarital course for a discount and to waive the waiting period.
• Appointment Scheduling: Call ahead or use online tools to schedule your visit to the courthouse.
