Actually the waiting period is applicable to Florida residents only. Anyone (international or domestic) can marry the moment they obtain the license.

Thanks Carrie. Someone on another forum said there was a wait after getting your license. Put the panics on me!

**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.

Hi and welcome. You will need to get your licence at one of the county court offices (see you have posted the details) once you have that they will ask if you want to get married there and then. Just say yes and hand over your $30. I think they just get a couple of the staff to witness for you.

Just as an FYI they no longer have the requirement for witness signatures. The officiate is all you need. They are still providing the license that has witness lines on it and many officiates will have someone fill it out for a sentimental moment on the day. It also helps avoid panic if you later notice it wasn't done. It's often a favorite photo moment as well so it is ceremonial and no longer required.

Hi

We are hoping to get married at the WDW Swan in Oct/Nov 11. We arrive on Thursday 27 Oct so were thinking of going to the Court House on Friday 28 Oct so its done early before we get into the theme park mode! We are staying at OKW and will not have a car. Can I get a taxi from there? How much? Is it easier to book a round trip or take pot luck on finding another cab when we come out? Which is the nearest Court House? Are the forms posted on here stil the latest versions so that we can get them illed in before we go?

Sorry so many questions!

Many thanks
