No Palm Beach County figure is published here. The Florida statutes still apply: Fla. Stat. 741.01 sets the marriage license fee components and provides a reduction when both parties present certificates from an approved premarital preparation course completed within one year of application, and Fla. Stat. 741.04 delays the effective date of the license by three days unless those certificates are filed. Fla. Stat. 741.07 lets clergy, judicial officers, clerks of the circuit court and Florida notaries solemnize the marriage. Confirm the Palm Beach County fee, ceremony fee, office locations and appointment policy directly with the Clerk.
