Welcome to the Clerk’s e-Marriage service page! We would like to take a moment of your time and tell you what e-Marriage is and how it can save you time at the Courthouse.

What is e-Marriage?

E-Marriage is an online marriage license application program that will save you time when you come to the Courthouse. By using our e-Marriage application, you are filling out, at your convenience, all the necessary information required by the State of Florida to obtain a marriage license. You save time because you will not have to fill out a paper marriage license application at the Courthouse. Your online application is valid for 45 calendar days from the day it is submitted.

How do I use e-Marriage?

  1. Read the disclaimer to understand that by filling out the online application, you must still appear before the clerk and meet the State of Florida’s requirements for a marriage license. Simply completing the online form does not mean you are married.
  2. Enter information in all the required fields and submit. Your information will go into the Clerk’s queue.
  3. You will receive an on-screen confirmation that you have successfully completed the online application.
  4. Within 45 days of completing the online application, the bride and groom must come together to the Marriage License/Passport counter of the Courthouse with proper identification and form of payment.
  5. At that time, the Clerk will determine if your application can be accepted or rejected.

Where can I find more detailed information about marriage licenses?

This link will take you to the Marriage License page of our web site. On this page, you will find all the information you will need regarding age of applicants, proper identification and marriage license fees and waiting periods.
