What Happens After You Sign Your Marriage License?
Florida Marriage Licenses:
After your marriage is solemnized by an authorized wedding officiant then your officiant must sign, seal and complete the marriage certificate. Also, you can use 2 adult witnesses.
Your officiant can summit the marriage license to the county of origin within 10 days unless you need your Marriage license right away for insurance purposes or any other paper work then I suggest for you to file in person and buy extra copies.
Any County Clerk’s Office is pretty overloaded and they may take as 4 to 6 weeks to complete the recording process. Don’t panic if you have been married for as long as few months and your marriage is still not yet recorded. It will be the County Clerk is a governmental agency and so they do things at their own pace.--
