Gulf Coast Marriage License

Requirements

When applying for a marriage license, both parties, age 18 and over, must be present.

A Florida marriage license allows a couple to get married anywhere in Florida, regardless of the county the license was purchased from. If you are getting married outside of Florida, obtain the marriage license from the state where you will be married. Every marriage license is issued by a county court judge or clerk of the circuit court under their hand and seal.

To obtain a marriage license you need: A valid federal or state government photo identification card is required and must provide the correct legal name, date of birth and signature of the applicant.

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 of Florida for sixty (60) days from the effective date.

Prior to obtaining a marriage license, both parties must sign an affidavit indicating they have read the Family Law Handbook, which is available as an online resource through The Florida Bar Family Law Section in either English or Spanish. The Family Law Handbook is also available for viewing in the Clerk of Courts Marriage and One-Stop courthouse service locations.

If either applicant has been previously married, the exact date of the last divorce, death, or annulment must be provided.

If you have one, or more child(ren) together, who were born in the State of Florida, you must complete the Affirmation of Common Child(ren) Born in Florida form.
