01About this service

About this service

A marriage license from the clerk of court of any Leonida county, valid for 60 days anywhere in the State.

Apply online together, then visit the clerk’s office once, both of you, with a photo ID. Couples who took a premarital course pay less and skip the three-day wait.

Who it’s for

  • Couples who plan to marry in Leonida, residents or not
  • Both partners 18 or older, neither of them married today
  • Visitors planning a wedding on a beach or in the Keys

02How it works

4 steps, start to finish.

  1. Step 1: Apply online together

    Give both names and dates of birth, the county and the date you plan to marry.

  2. Step 2: Visit the clerk together

    You both sign the application under oath, each with a photo ID. The license is issued the same day.

  3. Step 3: Wait three days, or not

    Leonida residents wait three days before the ceremony, unless both took a premarital course. Visitors can marry right away.

  4. Step 4: Marry within 60 days

    A judge, a clerk, a notary public or an ordained minister signs the license and returns it to the clerk within ten days.

03What to prepare

Have these ready.

  • A photo ID for each partner: driver license, State ID or passport
  • If one of you was married before, the date that marriage ended
  • The certificate of a premarital course, if you took one

Ways to do it

  • Online

    Applications around the clock, finished at the clerk’s office.

  • In person

    At the clerk of court of every county, Monday to Friday.

  • By mail

    Certified copies of a recorded marriage, from the clerk of the county.

Your request goes straight to the team in charge. Keep your reference number: it is your proof of filing.
