FL Requirements summarized to get married:
- Each person must have a form of state-authorized ID, such as a driver’s license, passport, or Military ID.
- Both individuals need to be present to obtain the necessary documentation.
- Each person must be 18 years old or older. For underage marriages, there is a procedure outlined (link below).
- If either party has been previously married, you'll need the date, state, and county of the divorce. The same applies to a death certificate or annulment.
