Titusville Marriage Records Lookup

Marriage records in Titusville are handled by the Brevard County Clerk of Courts. Titusville is the county seat, so the main clerk office is located right in town at the Brevard County Courthouse.

Titusville Clerk Office Location

Titusville serves as the county seat of Brevard County. The Brevard County Clerk of Courts main office is at 50 S. Nieman Avenue, Titusville, FL 32780. Phone: (321) 637-5413. This is where Titusville residents go for marriage licenses. Hours are Monday through Friday during normal business hours.

Being in the county seat means the courthouse is right in town. Titusville residents have the shortest commute of anyone in north Brevard. No long drive needed. Walk in, apply, and get your license. The clerk also has a second location at 2825 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Viera, FL 32940 for people in the southern part of the county.

Both parties have to be there in person. One person cannot apply on behalf of the couple. Bring a current photo ID. Driver licenses from any state, passports, military IDs, state ID cards, and naturalization certificates are all fine. Have your Social Security number ready. Prior marriages require the exact end date on the application.

Marriage License Cost in Titusville

A marriage license in Brevard County costs $86. This drops to $61 if both parties take a premarital preparation course. The course needs to be done within 12 months of the application date. It has to be from an approved provider as laid out in Florida Statute Chapter 741. Taking the course also waives the three-day wait.

The clerk takes cash and credit or debit cards. No personal checks allowed. A ceremony done by the clerk costs $30. This is a short civil ceremony right at the courthouse. If you plan to have the clerk marry you, let them know when you apply. It can often happen the same day if the waiting period is not an issue.

Certified copies of marriage records from Brevard County come with the official clerk seal. They cost a small fee per copy. Call the clerk for exact pricing since fees can change. These copies work for name changes, insurance, and any other legal need.

Applying for Your Marriage License

Here is how Titusville couples get their license:

• Visit the Brevard County Clerk at 50 S. Nieman Avenue together
• Show photo ID and give Social Security numbers
• Provide prior marriage end dates when asked
• Pay the $86 fee or $61 with a premarital course
• Wait three days if you are a Florida resident without the course
• Use the license within 60 days in any Florida county

Florida Statute 741.04 creates the three-day cooling off period. It only applies to Florida residents. Out-of-state applicants can use the license right away. The premarital course eliminates the wait for everybody. The license is valid for 60 days and works in all 67 Florida counties, not just Brevard.

Florida law names several types of people who can officiate weddings. Under Statute 741.07, ordained ministers, judges, court clerks, deputy clerks, and notary publics certified in Florida are authorized. Witnesses are not required by Florida law, though having them is wise. The officiant must send the signed license back to the clerk within 10 days. Then it gets recorded and reported to the state Bureau of Vital Statistics.

Requesting Certified Copies

All Florida marriage records are public under Florida Statutes Chapter 119. Any person can ask for copies. You do not have to be one of the spouses or a family member. The clerk is required to provide copies upon a proper request. Social Security numbers are blacked out on public versions.

For Titusville residents, walking into the courthouse at 50 S. Nieman Avenue is the easiest route. The staff can pull up the record and print a certified copy while you wait. Online and mail requests also work. For mail, send a letter with the names, date of marriage, and a check or money order to the clerk office.

Keep in mind that new marriages take about 60 days to reach the state database. The county has the record much sooner. So if you recently tied the knot in Titusville, go to the Brevard County clerk for your certified copy before trying the state route.
