Florida Marriage Records

Under the Florida public records law (Sunshine Law) marriage records, along with dissolution 0f marriage (divorce) records are available to the public with no restrictions. Records of Florida marriages can be found in newspaper collections, official county marriage books, church registers, and old family Bibles, many of which have been put online.

Many of the County Clerks of Courts have made images of marriage licenses available through an official records search. The resulting image is not a certified copy but will  be very useful in verifying a marriage and can be a nice addition to a scrapbook or family genealogy publication.

MyFloridaCounty.com has a free non-subscriber official document search that includes marriage records for various date ranges. Copies of records found can then be ordered. The links, addresses and dates of available records are included on each county page.

For copies of marriage records Florida Department of Health makes copies of marriage licenses from June 6, 1927 to the present . Earlier records are available from the Clerk of Courts in the county where the marriage took place. (These addresses and date of marriage records available are included on the county pages.)
