Florida marriage licenses by mail

2nd November 2007 Print
UK wedding couples tying the knot in Florida can now take advantage of a new service offered by Orlando based company Florida Marriage License By Mail.

The service takes away the enormous stress and worry from British couples choosing to marry in the sunshine state by allowing them to obtain their marriage licence beforehand. Whilst the procedure with most UK based wedding specialists requires wedding couples to obtain their marriage licence from the local courthouse, Florida Marriage Licence By Mail does all this beforehand. This service is offered to any couple from the UK, regardless of whom they have booked through.

The company specialises in offering marriage licences by mail to couples in the UK, saving more than half a day of precious holiday time. Founded to assist busy brides and grooms with arranging their wedding in Florida, the service allows its customers to do everything through its website www.floridamarriagelicensebymail.com

The service offers enormous benefits for those looking to marry in Florida and hundreds of British couples have already made the most of the service.

Mrs Emily Van Winkle recently married in Florida and took advantage of the service from Florida Marriage License By Mail:

“Florida Marriage License by Mail was a lifesaver. We were flying in on Friday and did not have enough time to visit the courthouse without having to change our flights and incur change costs. Florida Marriage License by Mail did all the leg work on our behalf for a reasonable fee. Now, we can enjoy our wedding and not have to worry about our wedding licence”.

Founder and British Born Lorraine Ellis commented on why she launched Florida Marriage License By Mail:

“More and more wedding couples were choosing to marry in the Sunshine State, but were finding the whole experience of not being able to obtain their marriage licence until arrival, daunting and stressful. Many were worried about factoring extra days into their holiday before the wedding, others were nervous about not getting accepted for the licence, whilst others found the whole experience of getting lost on the way to the local court house a worry. This is why we decided to do something and set up the company.

“Having the advantage of already being a local based wedding specialist, we developed procedures to take the worry away from our wedding couples. Florida Marriage License By Mail was launched and has already proved an enormous success”.

The service takes just two months to complete before the actual wedding date and costs only $193.50; less than £100 at today’s exchange rates. The marriage licence is then valid for 60 days and the company ensures that the final stamped date for the marriage licence covers the proposed wedding date.

Requesting a licence is simple and just requires a completed application form, available on the website, and a copy of either a passport or driving licence. Once this has come back from the Floridian courthouse, applicants must sign an “absentia statement” and then get the application signed by a public notary. A full list of public notaries in the UK is provided with the application.

The whole system is simple and easy to follow, making one less thing to worry about the wedding, whilst there are hundreds of other important decisions to make.
