Florida Public Marriage Records

by Ben Kingsley

Your Florida marriage records are important if you want to secure some documents or want some information. The records are available from the Bureau of Statistics of Florida and obtaining them is easy. One can email the office or if you do not want to have your email released, you can also phone the office or write them with your letter of request. The office teams up with the VitalChek network so that people who are interested in obtaining their copies might have another option to secure their marriage record.

The Florida Bureau of Statistics repository includes marriage records that date back to June 6, 1927. For marriages before the said date, information or records might be available to the county clerk where the marriage license was issued. One can call the particular county clerk office to ask for assistance with regards their marriage record that they want to obtain.

To request for the records through mail, one has the option to send a signed letter of request to the Office or download an application form. The fee for each request is $5 and any additional request of the same record costs $4. One can send in as many requests as one wants, as the state does not impose restrictions concerning the number of requests one can make.

During processing, if the Bureau finds no records pertaining to the marriage requested, the office will issue a "not found" statement to the applicant. The fee for the request is not refundable; however, one can request for refund of the additional request made. Applicants should address their request for refund to the Bureau's office.

In filling up the form, the applicant should include relevant details needed by the office. This includes the name of the couple, marriage date and the county where the marriage license was issued. The applicant should also indicate their information to make the transaction faster. Include one's full name, mailing address and the contact number where the office can reach the applicant. Once the form is completed, the applicant should send a cheque or a money order payable to the Bureau of Vital Statistics.

For those applicants who are unaware of the exact marriage date, they can provide the office a range or period when the marriage is supposed to have taken place. Each additional year costs $2. The processing time varies depending on the time the request is received. Normally, processing takes about 2-5 business days. For applicants who urgently need their records of marriage, they can opt to avail of the "rush" service which shortens the processing time to 3 days. For those who want express or overnight delivery, they can pay the "rush hour service", include a self-addressed stamp envelope together with their request, and send it to the Bureau of Statistics office. Online request is also available and can help one to obtain their marriage certificates conveniently.
