Florida Residents

A Florida marriage license is required for ALL marriages performed in the State of Florida and is good anywhere in the State, regardless of the county issuing the license. Marriage licenses must be applied for in person with BOTH the prospective bride AND groom present. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older and provide the office with identification containing a photograph and birth date. One (1) identification is required with the applicant's picture, signature, and birth date. Driver's License, Passport, Military ID, Alien Registration Card, and State of Florida ID are acceptable. (If in doubt about acceptable ID, call 386-257-6013). All U.S. Citizens and Residents must provide their Social Security Number.

Non-U.S. Residents may provide an Alien Registration Card, Driver License, Passport or any other legal form of identification if they do not have a Social Security Number issued to them. There is no residence or citizenship status requirement. A blood test is no longer required.

If either applicant has been previously married, you MUST provide the Clerk the date your last marriage ended by death, divorce or annulment. (Documentation is not required.)

Licenses are available to both Florida residents and non-residents and are good for 60 days.

Florida residents are not permitted to use the marriage license by mail service. Florida residents must apply for their marriage license in person due to a three-day waiting period for Florida residents.
