The cost for the marriage license, including the state and county fees is $93.50. However, couples who attend an approved premarital course will have the marriage license application reduced to $61.00. The premarital course must be completed by both individuals in order for the discount to be valid.

Marriage License Use & Restrictions

Marriage licenses are issued immediately after the paperwork has been completed, however, there is a mandatory 3-day waiting period before the marriage license becomes valid for a couple to be married. However, couples that choose to complete a premarital course will be able to skip the 3-day waiting period and be married on the same day the license is issued. Non-Florida residents do have a waiting period and must pay the normal marriage license fee. Marriage licenses are valid for 60 days from the issue date, and must be returned to the clerk's office within 10 days after the marriage is performed.
