Florida Marriage Records Sources
Florida marriage records come from several official sources. The Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics keeps statewide records for marriages from June 1927 to the present. The Florida Department of Health runs the vital records office that issues certified Florida marriage certificate copies. Each county clerk of court holds records for marriages that took place in that county. Each office has its own rules, fees, forms, and timelines.
Statewide vs. County Records
Statewide Florida marriage records search covers all 67 counties. County-level searches cover only one county at a time. If you do not know the county, you can start with a statewide search. If you know the county, you can contact that county clerk of court marriage records office directly. Some older records from before 1927 may only exist at the county level.
| Record Source | Years Covered | How to Request |
|---|---|---|
| Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics | June 1927 to present | Online, mail, or in-person at vital records office |
| Florida Department of Health | Same as state office | Through the vital records system |
| County Clerk of Court | All years for that county | In-person, mail, or county website |
| Local Marriage License Office | All years for that county | In-person at the issuing office |
Major Florida Counties
The largest Florida counties by marriage volume include Orange County, Miami-Dade County, Broward County, Hillsborough County, Duval County, Palm Beach County, and Pinellas County. Each of these counties has its own clerk of court that keeps marriage records. You can search by name, by license number, or by date range at the county level.

Can I use this site for a background check on someone?
No. This site is not a background check tool. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. You may not use data, links, or contact details from this site to screen tenants, evaluate job applicants, decide on loans, or make insurance choices. Doing so would break these terms and may break federal law. For personal research, family history, or your own legal records, you may use the data we share.
Do I have to pay to use this Florida marriage records search site?
No. We do not charge you to use our site, read our pages, or follow our step-by-step guides. Some official state and county offices charge their own fees for certified Florida marriage certificate copies. You pay those fees to the office, not to us. We never collect payments on behalf of any government office.
What happens if I break these terms?
We can block your access to the site, remove your data, or take legal action if you break these terms. We can also report illegal activity to the proper law enforcement agency. You agree to pay our legal costs if your misuse of the site leads to a claim against us.

No. All text, logos, images, and code on this site belong to us or to our licensors. You may print or save pages for your own personal use. You may not repost, sell, or rewrite our content for any other website without our written permission. Doing so would break our intellectual property rights.
How do I check the status of a Florida marriage license application?
If the county clerk where the license was issued offers a public status tool, we link to it on our site. You will need the license number or the full names of the couple and the date the license was issued. The status shown comes from the county office. We do not promise the status is current at all times.
Will I get a certified copy of a marriage certificate through this site?
No. We do not issue certified copies. We point you to the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics marriage records office or the right county clerk of court marriage records office. You must place your order directly with the official office that holds the record. They will mail you a certified copy or let you pick one up in person.
