• Florida marriage license fee: $93.50
• Discounted fee (with premarital course completion): $61

Marriage License Use & Restrictions

After a marriage license is issued, there is a 3-day waiting period before a marriage ceremony can be performed. Couples can skip the waiting period by completing a premarital course that has been approved by the Pinellas county clerk's office. If both individuals are non-Florida residents, there is not a waiting period. Couples wishing to skip the waiting period must provide the clerk with the certificate of completion at the time of their application. A marriage license expires 60 days from the issue date and must be returned to the clerk's office within 10 days following the ceremony. The clerk's office will solemnize the marriage for a couple for an additional $30 fee.
