Orange County, Florida (Orlando) is handled by the Comptroller’s Office rather than a Clerk of Courts, and confirms that the 3-day wait only starts once you’ve purchased the license in person — not when you submit the online application.
| License fee | $86, reduced to $61 with a premarital preparation course certificate. |
|---|---|
| Waiting period | 3 days for Florida residents, starting only after the in-person purchase (not the online application); non-residents are exempt. |
| Documents / ID required | Valid, non-expired government-issued photo ID for both applicants. |
| License validity | 60 days from the date of issuance, valid in any Florida county (Florida statewide rule). |
| Where & how to apply | Complete the online application, then visit the Marriage Division at 425 N. Orange Ave., Suite 350, Orlando, to purchase the license in person. |
| Office hours | 7:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m., Monday–Friday. |
Special notes
Licenses are issued same-day as long as requirements are met — there is no same-day wait beyond the standard state waiting period rules.
