Search Casselberry Marriage Records

Marriage records for Casselberry residents are maintained by the Seminole County Clerk of Court at the courthouse in Sanford. All license applications, ceremonies, and records requests go through that office.

Getting a Marriage License in Casselberry

Casselberry is part of Seminole County. The city does not have its own marriage license office. You need to go to the Seminole County Clerk of Court in Sanford. The courthouse address is 301 North Park Avenue, Sanford, FL 32771. From Casselberry, the drive takes about 15 minutes north on US-17/92.

Both people must appear together. Bring a valid photo ID such as a driver license, passport, military ID, or state ID card. U.S. citizens also need to provide a Social Security number. If either person has been married before, you need the date that prior marriage ended. Divorce decrees or death certificates are helpful to bring but not always required.

The clerk can process your application the same day. Walk-ins work fine. Setting up an appointment in advance is also an option if you want to avoid a wait. Once the application is done and the fee is paid, the license gets issued that day. But Florida residents still have to wait three days before the license can be used, unless they took a premarital course.

Casselberry Marriage License Costs

The license fee is $86 without a premarital course. With a course, it drops to $61. Under Florida Statute 741.0305, the course must be from an approved provider and completed within one year of the application. It also waives the three-day wait.

Want the clerk to do the ceremony? That runs $30. Cash and major credit cards are accepted. No personal checks. Duplicate licenses cost $30 each. Amendments require a court order plus extra fees.

Casselberry Marriage License Process

Here is what Casselberry residents need to do:

• Go to the Seminole County Clerk in Sanford with your partner
• Show valid photo ID and Social Security number
• Report the end date of any past marriages
• Pay $86 (or $61 with premarital course proof)
• Wait three days if you are a Florida resident without a course certificate
• Use the license within 60 days at any spot in Florida

Out-of-state residents skip the waiting period entirely. Florida residents can also skip it by taking a premarital course. The course must be done within a year of the application. It has to come from a provider registered with the state of Florida.

Under Florida Statute 741.07, ordained ministers, judges, clerks and deputy clerks, and Florida notaries public can perform the ceremony. There is no legal requirement for witnesses, though having some is a smart move. After the ceremony, the officiant has 10 days to sign the license and send it back to the clerk. The clerk records the marriage and reports it to the Bureau of Vital Statistics. Full processing typically takes around 60 days after the wedding date.
