**To expedite the process you may download and complete the wedding application and bring it with you to the Clerk's office. Those forms have been attached to this thread for your convenience. **There is a company who will process your paperwork by post should you desire to have your wedding license sent to you prior to your journey to Florida. This company is not affiliated with the State of Florida or any wedding planners. They do charge a fee for their service and you can find those details at their website. The company is called Florida Marriage License By Mail. :heart: |

If you are staying in a villa along US27 you may want to check your address and see if the Clermont office might be a nearer option for you.

Do you have a form for the Kissimmie court house? Very handy thread :grin: x

There are two attachments in the original post and the Kissimmee courthouse is the Osceola County pdf. Kissimmee is the town name and Osceola is the county. An easy thing to confuse.

I'd like to update this thread and say that I have worked with Lorriane of Florida Marriage License By Mail and can say that they provided a quality service with great customer service. I would feel confident in using them should you need to aquire your license prior to arriving into the US.
Please feel free to ask questions if you have them. **If you decide to use the mail service please mention my name (Carrie), company name (Destination Occasion) or even the DIBB so that I can help you on this end should anyone need to be of assistance. I was able to help in a last minute process recently so it is good to have a local contact. Florida Marriage License By Mail has all of my details and can contact me if necessary. This applies to all brides and not just those I am working with directly. |
Carrie, how much does Lorraine charge? I am wondering if it'll be worth the cost to save having to drive out for it and missing a morning of our treasured time! I know the licence is $89
Also, does this all work through scanning and emailing docs or are originals through the post required? Thanks |
Lorraine actually has the steps outlined very well on the website. Have a look at 10 Easy Steps on the website. Pricing is based on your timeline and how early you do it (see below).
Obtaining a license once you are here is quick and straight forward but for those that might like the peace of mind of having it in hand before your journey to the states or for those that are onsite and aren't hiring a car and want to avoid the time spent (and cost of a taxi) while on holiday this is a good service to consider. Like anything else it all comes down to what is most convenient for you and what your budget allows. Pricing as of today (26/04/10) taken direct from the Florida Marriage License By Mail website: Pricing for this service (includes the license fee paid to the courthouse for your license, Fed Ex Shipping of your notarized copies back to the courthouse (with effect from 25 March 2010) and all our administration. Pricing depends on when your initial application is made in relation to your wedding date. More than 61 days before the wedding date $203.50 Between 51 - 60 days before the wedding date $215.50 Between 41 - 50 days before the wedding date $235.50 Between 31 - 40 days before the wedding date $255.50 |
Lovely, thanks Carrie
