Obtaining a Marriage License

Obtaining a Marriage License

1. What are the marriage license fees and waiting period?
The standard marriage license fee is $93.50 and includes a 3-day waiting period before a marriage ceremony can be performed.

The only exceptions to the 3-day waiting period are:

•If both applicants reside out-of-state and are able to present valid proof of photo identification indicating their out-of-state address at the time of filing the marriage license application. (Please call our office for other acceptable proof.)

•If the applicants present an original pre-marital course completion certificate at the time of filing the marriage license application.

NOTE: If the couple elects the option to attend a pre-marital course from a registered provider, the marriage license fee is lowered to $61.00 and the waiting period is waived upon providing an original certificate of completion at the time of filing the application.

Prior to obtaining a marriage license, both parties must sign an affidavit indicating they have read the Family Law Handbook.

2. What is the Pre-Marital Course Provider Option?
A couple has the option to take a premarital course from a registered course provider. When a pre-marital course certificate is presented at the time of the marriage license application, the fee is reduced to $61.00 and the license is effective the same day as issued.

The optional premarital course may be obtained from a course provider who is registered with the Broward Clerk of Courts.

3. What types of payment methods are accepted?
Fees are payable by cash, cashier’s check, or money order. Make payable to the Clerk of Courts. No business or personal checks will be accepted. Visa and MasterCard credit cards are also accepted at all locations.

4. What types of required proof of identification are accepted?
There are two (2) forms of identification that are required.

a). The first form of identification required is a valid photo identification issued by the federal or state government. The photo identification must have the correct legal name, date of birth and signature of the applicant. The following types of photo identifications are accepted:

◦Driver's License (U.S. State or Government)
◦Passport
◦U.S. Military identification
◦State Identification Card (U.S. State or Government)
◦Alien Registration Card

b). A second form of identification is required if the applicant has been issued a U.S. Social Security number. In accordance with Florida State Statute, any person who has been issued a Social Security number shall provide that number. Any person who is not a citizen of the U.S. may provide either a Social Security number or an Alien Registration number, if one has been issued. If neither has been issued, another form of ID may be required.

5. What is the residency requirement?
You do not need to be a resident of this county or the State of Florida to obtain a Marriage license. Marriage licenses are for use within the State for sixty-60 days from the date of issue.

Applicants will be required to provide one stamped, self-addressed business size envelope for the return of their certified copy after the certificate has been recorded. This may be purchased at the marriage counter for $1.00.

If previously married, the exact date of death, divorce or annulment of the last marriage is required.

There are no blood tests required.
