Marriage License Overview

To get a marriage license in Broward county, you will both need to:

• Bring a valid photo id (driver's license/state ID, passport, military ID, or alien registration card)
• Know your social security number, however, the card itself is not neccessary
• Read the Family Law Handbook (included in our premarital course for your convenience)
• Pay the marriage license fee

Fees & Discounts

The fee for a Florida marriage license is $93.50. There is a 3-day waiting period before a marriage ceremony can be performed. However, couples who attend an approved premarital course are exempt from the waiting period and will have a reduced marriage license fee of $61.00. In order 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

When the couple receives their marriage licenses, it will be valid for 60 days from the issue date. Remember that there is a 3-day waiting period for any Florida resident (unless they complete a premarital course). The marriage license must be returned to the clerk's office within 10 days of the ceremony. Couples who choose to have a civil marriage ceremony performed may do so at the Marriage Division if they choose for an additional fee, as long as the license is valid.
