West Coast Florida Marriage License Requirements
The legal age for marriage in Florida is 18 years old. Couples under 18 must have parental consent. Florida residents have a required three-day waiting period. The spouses must present a valid photo ID to obtain the marriage license, which is valid for 60 days. The waiting period is waved with the completion of a Florida Premarital Course.
There is no waiting period required for out-of-state residents.
Residency or blood tests are not required. Both of the spouses must apply for and sign the license together. There is a fee of $93.50 (methods of payment vary), which can be reduced upon completion of a premarital course (ask court for details). If either the spouses has been previously married, he or she must present a copy of the divorce decree or death certificate. All offices are open Monday through Friday. Call ahead to get all of the details.
The Florida Premarital Course was developed to provide couples with a unique online resource that provides tools and guidance to assist them with obtaining a successful, lifelong marriage together. By utilizing expert knowledge from an accomplished mental health counselor, along with highly experienced programmers, couples have the opportunity to utilize the latest in e-Learning technology. In an effort to provide couples with a fun, interesting and educational environment, the course was written and designed by couples for couples.
