Marriage License Requirements in Deltona
Both people must go to the Volusia Clerk's office in person. One person cannot apply alone. Bring a valid photo ID. The clerk accepts driver's licenses, passports, state IDs, and military IDs. You also need your Social Security number. The card is not needed. Just know the number and be ready to give it.
Under Florida Statute 741.04, both applicants must be at least 18 years old. A 17-year-old can apply with parental consent if the other person is within two years of age. No blood test is required. There is no residency requirement for getting a marriage license in Volusia County. Deltona residents, out-of-county residents, and visitors from other states are all welcome to apply.
If either person was married before, bring the date the last marriage ended. Know whether it ended by divorce, death, or annulment. Both applicants must also read the Family Law Handbook from the Florida Bar. This is something the state requires before the clerk will process your application.
Deltona Marriage License Fees
The fee is $86. This is the same across Volusia County and is set by Florida law. If both people complete a four-hour premarital course, the fee drops to $61. That is $25 less. Under Florida Statute 741.0305, both applicants must bring their course certificates to the clerk to qualify for the reduced rate.
The premarital course also eliminates the three-day waiting period. So you save money and time. Part of the license fee is allocated to the Domestic Violence Trust Fund and part to the State Courts Revenue Trust Fund. These are mandatory under Florida law. Check with the Volusia Clerk for accepted payment methods at the DeLand office.
Note: The $25 savings from the premarital course is the same statewide, so it is the same deal whether you apply in Deltona's county or any other Florida county.
Deltona Marriage License Waiting Period
Florida residents have a three-day wait. The clerk issues the license, but it does not become valid for three days. You cannot hold the ceremony during that time. The premarital course removes this wait entirely. If both people are from outside Florida, there is no waiting period.
Once the license becomes valid, it lasts for 60 days. Florida Statute 741.041 sets the 60-day expiration. If you do not have the ceremony within those 60 days, the license is no good. You would need to reapply at the Volusia Clerk in DeLand and pay the fee again. After the wedding, the officiant sends the signed license back to the Volusia Clerk within 10 days. The clerk records it and passes it along to the state.
Ceremony Options for Deltona Couples
Florida Statute 741.07 says judges, ordained ministers, notary publics, and clerks of the circuit court can officiate weddings. You pick who you want. The Volusia Clerk may offer civil ceremonies at the DeLand courthouse. Call ahead to confirm availability and cost. Many Deltona couples choose to have the ceremony at a church, a private venue, or a park.
Your Deltona marriage license is valid across all of Florida. Hold the ceremony wherever you like. After the wedding, the officiant must return the signed license to the Volusia Clerk within 10 days.
