Deltona Marriage Records Lookup

Marriage records in Deltona are managed by the Volusia County Clerk of Circuit Court. Deltona is the largest city in Volusia County, and all marriage business goes through the county clerk offices in DeLand or Daytona Beach.

Marriage License Office for Deltona Residents

Deltona sits in the southwestern part of Volusia County. There is no clerk office in Deltona itself. The Volusia County Clerk of Circuit Court main office is in DeLand at 101 N. Alabama Avenue, DeLand, FL 32724. There is also a branch office in Daytona Beach at 125 E. Orange Avenue. Phone: (386) 736-5915.

For most Deltona residents, DeLand is the closer drive. It takes about 20 minutes on I-4 or local roads. The DeLand courthouse is the main hub for Volusia County government, so parking can fill up. Try to go early in the morning for shorter waits. The Daytona Beach branch is roughly 30 minutes east but serves the same purpose.

Both people who want to marry need to show up at the same time. Bring a valid photo ID. Driver licenses, passports, military IDs, and state ID cards all work. You must provide a Social Security number. If you or your partner had a previous marriage, the clerk needs the date it ended by divorce, annulment, or death of the former spouse.

Marriage License Fees in Deltona

Volusia County charges $86 for a marriage license. This drops to $61 if both parties finish a premarital preparation course. The course saves $25 and also removes the three-day waiting period for Florida residents. Under Florida Statute Chapter 741, the course must come from an approved provider and be completed within 12 months of the application.

Cash and credit cards work for payment. Personal checks do not. If you want the clerk to perform a ceremony, that costs an extra $30. The ceremony is quick. Some Deltona couples use the courthouse for the legal part and then have a celebration at home or another venue later. It is a practical approach that works well for many people.

Certified copies of your marriage record from Volusia County cost a few dollars per copy. The exact fee can vary, so call the clerk to confirm. Certified copies carry the official seal and are accepted everywhere you would need proof of marriage.

Searching Deltona Marriage Records Online

The Volusia County Clerk has an online portal for searching recorded documents. Marriage records are included. You enter a name and the system shows results. Looking things up is free. Certified copies cost money and can be ordered through the website or at the courthouse.

At the state level, the Florida Department of Health keeps marriage records from 1927 forward. The state fee is $5 for a search and one certified copy. Additional copies are $4 each. The state office in Jacksonville processes requests for the whole state, so turnaround is measured in weeks.

You can also order through VitalChek at $15 plus a service charge. Everything is handled online with a credit card. They mail the copies to your address. Deltona residents will get faster results by going through the Volusia County clerk, but VitalChek is a fine backup for out-of-area requests.

How to Get a Marriage License in Deltona

Follow these steps:

• Visit the Volusia County Clerk in DeLand or Daytona Beach with your partner
• Show valid photo ID and provide Social Security numbers
• Report any prior marriage end dates
• Pay $86 or $61 if you have a premarital course certificate
• Wait three days if you live in Florida and skipped the course
• Get married within 60 days in any Florida county

Florida Statute 741.04 creates a three-day cooling off period for state residents. This does not apply to people from out of state. Taking the premarital course waives it for everybody. The license is valid for 60 days and can be used in any of Florida's 67 counties, not just Volusia.

Florida Statute 741.07 lists the people who can perform a wedding: ordained ministers, judges, court clerks, deputy clerks, and notary publics licensed in Florida. The state does not require witnesses at the ceremony. After the wedding, the officiant has 10 days to return the signed license to the clerk. The clerk records the marriage and sends it to the Bureau of Vital Statistics.

Public Access and Copies

Florida Statutes Chapter 119 makes marriage records public. Any person can request copies. You do not have to be a spouse or a relative. The clerk must provide copies upon request. Social Security numbers and certain other private data are removed before copies go out to the public.

For Deltona residents, the DeLand courthouse is the closest place to pick up copies in person. Walk in, request what you need, and the staff can print it while you wait. Online ordering works through the clerk website. Mail requests should go to 101 N. Alabama Avenue, DeLand, FL 32724 with both names, the marriage date, and payment enclosed.

Newly recorded marriages take around 60 days to show up in the state database. The county gets them sooner. If you just got married in Deltona, contact the Volusia County clerk for copies instead of waiting for the state to catch up. The county is always ahead on recent records.
