Both people go to the clerk's office together. You cannot send one person alone. Bring a valid photo ID. The clerk accepts a driver's license, state ID card, passport, or U.S. military ID. You need your Social Security number, but the card is not required. If either person was married before, bring the exact date the marriage ended and know whether it was by divorce, death, or annulment. The clerk also asks for the county and state where the divorce was granted.
Under Florida Statute 741.04, both applicants must be at least 18. There is no blood test. No residency requirement exists for Broward County, so anyone from anywhere can apply here.

Marriage License Wait Period for Coral Springs
Florida residents face a three-day wait after the clerk issues the license. The license is not valid for those three days. Under Florida Statute 741.04, you cannot hold the ceremony until the waiting period ends. Out-of-state couples skip this wait entirely.
Taking a premarital course waives the waiting period. Both people must complete the course and bring the certificates when they apply. The Coral Springs marriage license becomes valid right away in that case. Once valid, the license lasts 60 days. Under Florida Statute 741.041, the ceremony must happen within that window or the license expires and you start over.
After the wedding, the officiant returns the signed license to the Broward County Clerk within 10 days. The clerk records it and sends a copy to the Florida Department of Health for permanent filing. That state filing process takes about 60 days. Under Florida Statute 741.07, ordained ministers, judges, clerks, and notaries public can all perform the ceremony.
Note: The clerk can also perform a civil ceremony at any Broward office for $30 if you want a simple courthouse wedding near Coral Springs.
