How does getting/filing marriage license work?

Question

Live in FL, getting married this year. How does getting the marriage license work? Also, we are leaving the following morning for our honeymoon, can we have someone else turn it in? We’ll be gone 10 days.

Answer

Our officiant from our wedding mailed ours in. Maybe the person marrying you could mail it for you too! I’m no help on Florida’s process though.

Answer

You both have to be there to file it. Takes 3days then you can get married if someone marries you they can send it in

Answer

I live in Maine, but I had to go to the town notary ahead of time and fill everything out and me and my hubby signed it in front of her - we then waited for our wedding day, and our minister and our witnesses signed it. It was then our minister's responsibility to mail it to the town notary, and she called me after she filed it to pick it up.

Answer

You get a license before you have the ceremony. You go to the town clerk and apply for a marriage license.

Answer

There is a waiting period. In Marion county, you have to wait 7 days. And you only have so many days to turn it in after you get married. Not sure where you are but go to the court house and ask.n

Answer

We went to the court house and went to the county clerks office and filed for them there. Once we recurved them we have to wait 2 weeks or so

Answer

Florida has a waiting period if you live there for a marriage license. I got married there last year but live out of state. You mail the original back for them to file so someone can do that for you while your gone but make sure to check on the waiting period before you can pickup and use the license since you live there

Answer

We had a courthouse wedding. We called for a date and time. We filled out paperwork and the marriage license. Then we had a small ceremony where the witnesses signed then we handed it back to the clerk.
