What Is the Difference Between a Marriage Certificate and a Marriage License?

A marriage license is a document that allows you to get married, while a marriage certificate is a document that proves that you got married on your wedding day and in the county, the ceremony was held. Before getting married, you and your partner have to fill out some paperwork, present identification, and sign some forms before you can be issued a marriage license. In the state of Florida, you and your partner will need to do the following to apply for a marriage license:

Present a picture ID (driver's license, passport, etc.)
Give a social security number
Pay a marriage license fee

It currently costs $93.50 to get a marriage license, but you can get some of the fees reduced if you complete a Florida state-approved pre-marital course. Your marriage license is also valid for 60 days, meaning you must get married within 60 days of it being issued, or it will expire. You may also have to wait three days after it is issued to get married.

To get your on your own, you have four options:

Visiting in person	you will have to visit the Archived and Court Records building in person during office hours to request a copy of your marriage certificate and pay the required fees.

Mailing your documents	you can fill out the official records document form and mail it to the Pasco County Clerk's office with proper documentation to receive your marriage certificate in the mail.
