Florida Rules for Non-Residents
What Non-Florida Residents Should Know
Two Florida rules are particularly useful when planning a wedding from another state. We coordinate your process around the requirements that apply to your circumstances.
Waiting Period & License Validity
Non-Florida residents: Florida law provides an exception to the three-day delayed effective-date requirement for non-Florida residents.
60-day validity: A Florida marriage license is valid for 60 days after issuance.
Mixed residency? If one of you is a Florida resident, different waiting-period requirements may apply. We recommend confirming the requirements for your circumstances with the issuing clerk.
