How to Order a Florida Marriage Certificate

Florida marriage certificates from June 6, 1927 to present that have been recorded by the Clerk of Circuit Court are available through the Bureau of Vital Statistics. The certificate is issued as an abstract of the information taken from the marriage license and is acceptable as evidence that a marriage was finalized and recorded.

After the ceremony, the marriage license is returned to the Clerk of Circuit Court to be filed and recorded. The Clerk will then forward the marriage record to the Bureau of Vital Statistics for permanent filing. This process takes approximately 60 days. If the current marriage ceremony is less than 60 days from the date of application and immediate evidence of the marriage is required, you may contact the county Clerk of Circuit Court where the marriage license was issued. Any marriages prior to June 6, 1927 are obtainable from the Clerk of Circuit Court where the marriage license was issued.
