Marriage License
 

In most cases, there  is a required 3-day waiting period between the time a marriage license is obtained and the ceremony. The marriage ceremony may not take place during the 72-hour period immediately following the issuance of the marriage license.

​

I HIGHLY recommend reading the information on the appropriate county website.

​

Charlotte County

​

Sarasota County 

​

Lee County

​

Collier County

​

Some generally important information about your marriage certificate.

​

  • The license must be used within sixty days of issuance.

  • The license may be used in any county in the State of Florida.

  • The executed license must be returned within 10 days to the county in which is was issued.

​

After the ceremony, I can return the marriage certificate to the appropriate county office for you via USPS.
