How
much notice we need? We can start the process as early
as 1 year before your wedding date. The "latest"
we can start the process is 6 weeks prior your wedding
date if you live in the US and 3 months for Out-of-Country
couples.
If
your wedding is a less than 2 months away, we MUST receive
your completed application no later than 6 weeks prior your
wedding date. We cannot accept applications for weddings
less than 6 weeks away.
STEPS
TO GET STARTED:
PAY
THE SERVICE FEE
The
first step is to pay the license and service fees. Please
be advised that payment in full is required to begin
the process and all fees are Nonrefundable. The service is
$200 US; this includes the License fee.
DOWNLOAD & COMPLETE AN APPLICATION
After
you have made your payment, you must complete our Application
with your personal information. The application is available
in two formats: MS Word and Adobe Acrobat Reader. Choose your
preferred format:
Click
here to download it in MS Word Format. Choose this option
if you prefer to fill out the information by typing it right
in your computer.
Click
here to download it in Acrobat Format. Choose this option
if you plan to hand-write the information instead or if you
don't have MS Word in your Computer.
MAKE
COPIES OF A VALID STATE/COUNTRY PHOTO ID
The
information sheet must be received with a copy of your USA
Driver's License, US State Photo ID OR if you are from another
Country, your Passport will work. Make sure your copies are
legible please!
SEND EVERYTHING TO US VIA E-MAIL, FAX OR POSTAL MAIL
If
you have a scanner, it is best if you scan your ID's and e-mail
them to us along with the Application. You can also fax or
send your documents via regular postal mail to the address
listed on the application form.
FINAL
STEPS INCLUDE:
- After we receive your payment, completed application and
copies for your photo ID's, we will request a Florida Marriage
License on your behalf.
- The Clerk of the Courts will give us your "unofficial"
Marriage License which we will send to you via e-mail. Back
home, you will need to print the license and a few other
documents we will e-mail you and you have to go to a Notary/Solicitor
and have those documents notarized.
- Finally, you will send the license and notarized documents
back to us via Postal Mail and we will go back to the Clerk's
Office to make your license "official and final".
Once your license is validated as final, it will be sent
to you OR your Officiant via Postal Mail.
Don't
worry - the process is more simple than it seems and you will
be given step by step instructions on what to do!
