How do we get a marriage license?

Getting married in St. Pete Beach is easy. Simply obtain a marriage license from the office of the Clerk of Circuit Court in the Pinellas County Courthouse.

545 1st Avenue North St. Petersburg, Florida

Hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with the exception of federal holidays. No appointment is necessary. You’ll need both parties present, your social security numbers and a valid photo ID for each of you, such as a driver's license, state ID card, government or military ID or passport. No blood tests or witnesses are required. There is a 3-day waiting period for this license. If both the bride- and groom-to-be attend the recommended marriage class, the fee is reduced and there is no waiting period for the license. If the couple are from out of state or not U.S. citizens, the fee will be higher and there is no waiting period for the license. The license comes with a 60-day expiration date. After the ceremony, the license must be mailed to the courthouse, where it is recorded. Approximately 2-3 weeks following the receipt of the license it is mailed back to the couple as proof of the marriage. To contact the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, visit their website or call 727-464-7000.
