Fees & Discounts
The fee for a Florida marriage license is $93.50. Couples who attend an approved premarital course will qualify for a $32.50 discount on their marriage license fee. After the discount, the cost for a marriage license is $61. To receive this discount, the couple must provide the certificate of completion to the county clerk at the time of their application.
Marriage License Use & Restrictions
After a marriage license is issued, there is a 3-day waiting period before a marriage ceremony can be performed for Florida residents. However, couples who attend a premarital course are exempt from the waiting period. These couples can get married on the same day the license is provided. Non-Florida residents do not have a waiting period, and do not qualify for a discounted fee rate. After a couple receives their marriage license, it will be valid for 60 days from the issue date. The license must be returned to the clerk's office within 10 days, following of the ceremony.
