Palm Beach County processes marriage licenses by appointment at five office locations and offers a fully online option for couples who meet additional eligibility requirements.
| License fee | $136 without a premarital course, $111 with one, plus a card processing fee of $2.50 + 2.5% per transaction. |
|---|---|
| Waiting period | 3 days for Florida residents (waivable with a premarital course); non-residents are exempt. |
| Documents / ID required | Valid 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 | Start with the online Marriage & Domestic Partnership Kiosk, then request an in-person appointment at one of five offices (Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Royal Palm Beach, Belle Glade). Couples who can’t attend in person may qualify for a fully online application. |
| Office hours | By appointment; hours vary by office location. |
Special notes
Palm Beach County’s $136 standard fee is one of the higher county fees we track nationally — the premarital course discount is worth pursuing here more than in most counties.
