Types of Florida Marriage Records Available

Florida marriage certificates are issued by the Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics.

After a wedding ceremony, the marriage license is returned to the clerk of court for filing and then forwarded to the Bureau for permanent filing. This process typically takes about 60 days.

If you need proof of your union, you can order certified copies of the certificate of marriage, which summarizes the key information recorded on the marriage license. This is accepted as proof that the marriage was finalized and recorded.

Processing time is typically 3 to 5 business days for computer-generated certificates from 1970 to present, not including shipping. Certificates before 1970 require additional processing. Same-day service is usually available if you apply in person.
