How to Get a Florida Wedlock License

Licenses are issued by the County Clerk's office, and will be picked up by the couple. Equally a government minister, it's your responsibility to know how union licenses work in Florida and its individual counties. For example, if the couple plans to get a Tampa marriage license, y'all should double-check if in that location are whatever rules specific to Hillsborough County. In Florida, the marriage license is valid for sixty days. There is a mandatory 3-24-hour interval waiting period between the time it is picked up and when the anniversary tin can be legally performed (note: non-residents are exempt from this rule). Remember, the signed marriage license must be returned to the issuing role within 10 days of the anniversary. If the couple is headed off on their honeymoon, you might offer to return it for them.
