License Information

Couples wishing to get married in Florida may obtain their marriage license in any county within the State. To apply for a marriage license in Lee County both parties need to be present. Our office is located at 2115 Second Street, 2nd Floor, Fort Myers, FL, in the County Administration Building. You can apply for a license Monday through Friday or have the marriage ceremony performed in the office anytime between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Once issued the license is valid for 60 days. Florida Residents have a 3 day waiting period unless they meet the following criteria:

 

If both parties are Florida Residents and have attended a 4 hour pre-marital course, they do not have a three day waiting period.

Both parties must provide proof of course completion when applying for the marriage license. The course provider must list the hours completed for the counseling and the letter must be presented on the company/church letterhead. All area course providers must be registered with the Lee County Clerk of Courts per Florida Statute 741.0305. If both parties are not Florida Residents, you do not need to provide proof of pre-marital counseling. As non-residents of the State of Florida, you do not have a waiting period. However, all couples that apply for a marriage license must read the Family Law Handbook. If the marriage license couple has one Florida resident and the other is not, the Florida resident can take counseling and the three day waiting period will be waived.
