The application sits in the Clerk's queue for only 30 days, so both parties must appear within that window. Services are offered at the Clearwater Courthouse, the St. Petersburg Branch at 545 First Avenue North, and the North County Branch. Both parties must sign the Statement of Family Law Handbook. One certified copy of the recorded license is free; additional copies are $3.00 each. The Clerk's office runs an annual Halloween themed ceremony event it calls Scare-amonies.
