Love is the same for everyone, and United States law backs that up. We guide same-sex couples through the whole process of marrying in Miami. That covers local couples and couples living abroad. First we obtain the marriage license. Then an authorized Florida Notary Public solemnizes the ceremony. Finally we deliver a certified certificate with apostille, so your marriage counts outside the U.S. too. Our service is bilingual, dignified and confidential, in person in Brickell.
Case review and a first reply in under 24 business hours.

Marriage between people of the same sex is legal in Florida. It is equally legal in all 50 states and in the U.S. territories. Moreover, the rights and the requirements match those of any other couple.
You do not need to be a U.S. citizen or resident. With a valid passport, any adult couple can obtain a license and marry in Florida.
We receive every couple with the same respect and professionalism. Besides, the process stays private, asks no awkward questions and runs in your own language.
We handle the certified copies of your marriage certificate and the Hague Apostille. You can then present the document outside the United States.
You and your partner have been together for years. However, the law of your country does not recognize same-sex marriage. Or the process turns so hostile that you prefer not to expose yourselves. Meanwhile, your life plan waits behind a barrier you do not control.
Stories reach you of same-sex couples facing stares, out-of-place questions or subtle obstacles at the counter. Yet you only want what any couple wants. That is a calm, respectful process, with no explanations owed to anyone.
Forms in English, county offices, appointments, waiting periods. Which identification counts? Is a visa or a Social Security number needed? The information sits scattered. Moreover, one mistake can cost you the whole trip.
Marrying is only half the road. Afterwards you need the certified certificate and the apostille. Depending on the country, you also need the translation. Only then do institutions abroad accept your marriage properly. Nobody explains that final stretch.
Same-sex marriage is the legally recognized civil union of two people of the same sex. People also call it marriage between people of the same sex or, colloquially, gay marriage. It carries exactly the same rights, duties and requirements as any other marriage. In Florida it has been legal since January 6, 2015.
Moreover, the Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges (June 26, 2015) turned it into a protected right nationwide. That covers all 50 states, Washington D.C. and every territory. Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands are included. In addition, the federal Respect for Marriage Act of December 2022 obliges every state to recognize these marriages.
In practice, this means something very concrete. Any adult couple can marry legally in Miami, whatever their nationality or place of residence. Their marriage certificate then carries the same weight as that of any other couple.
| What worries you | How we solve it |
|---|---|
| The law of our country does not let us marry. | Florida requires neither residency nor citizenship. We organize your legal wedding in Miami with a valid passport. Besides, non-resident couples skip the 3-day wait that applies to Florida residents. |
| We want dignified treatment, without exposing ourselves. | A bilingual team used to celebrating same-sex marriages takes care of you. The process stays private and we coordinate scheduling on WhatsApp. Furthermore, the ceremony is built around you, with no questioning of any kind. |
| The requirements and the forms confuse us. | First we check your details before the trip. Then we confirm the exact document list in writing. Finally we go with you to the Clerk of Courts and complete every English-language form together. |
| The marriage must have effect outside the U.S. | After the ceremony we return the license to the county within the legal deadline. Then we obtain the certified copies of your certificate. Finally we handle the Hague Apostille and, if your country requires it, the certified translation. Tracked shipping reaches any destination. |
The requirements are the same for every couple — that is precisely the essence of same-sex marriage. This is the practical list we check with you before your trip:
A clear process, with bilingual support from beginning to end. Moreover, we protect your personal information strictly.
Before you buy a ticket, we review your passports, your marital status and your travel dates. Then we confirm the exact requirements of your case in writing. Finally we schedule the license and the ceremony.
We go with you and assist with the license application before the Clerk of Courts. Together we complete the English-language forms and verify every detail. Besides, non-resident couples marry with no 3-day wait.
A Florida Notary Public authorized by state law performs your marriage. Choose our Brickell office, your hotel or any location in Miami. The ceremony runs in English or Spanish and, if you wish, with personalized vows.
We certify and return the license to the county within the ten-day legal deadline. Then we obtain the certified copies of your marriage certificate. Finally we handle the apostille, the certified translation and tracked shipping to your country.
It is perfectly possible. The county forms are public, and any couple can request them by paying only the official fees. However, you must then interpret requirements and forms in technical English. Besides, you coordinate four things separately: the license appointment, an authorized officiant, the certified copies and the apostille before the Department of State. Different offices, different deadlines — and nobody answering in Spanish if something goes wrong mid-trip.
The real risk: one detail mistyped on the application. Or a license that expires before the ceremony. Or a certificate without an apostille that your country will not accept. You discover those errors once you are already home.
A single bilingual team coordinates the whole process. First comes the advance review of your case on WhatsApp. Then we support and assist you with the license. Next, an authorized Florida Notary Public solemnizes the ceremony. Afterwards we file the record within the legal deadline. Finally we close the international chain: certified copies, apostille, translation and tracked shipping to your door.
The result: you focus on your wedding; we focus on every document being right the first time. Besides, you get a full written quote before we begin, with no hidden charges.
We work with absolute financial transparency. Your quote separates the official government fees from our professional fees. The county or the state charges those official fees, and they sit outside our control. Moreover, they change without notice and vary with your case, so we do not publish amounts. Instead, we hand you the exact breakdown in writing before you pay anything.
| Charge category | Description of the service or fee |
|---|---|
| State marriage license fee | Official Clerk of Courts charge for issuing the license. Florida residents can reduce it by proving the premarital course; non-residents pay the standard county rate. |
| Ceremony and solemnization fees | An authorized Florida Notary Public performs the marriage. The fee covers schedule coordination, a personalized bilingual ceremony and certification of the license within the legal deadline. |
| Certified copies of the marriage certificate | Official county fee for each certified copy of the marriage certificate once the marriage is filed. |
| Apostille handling | We process the Hague Apostille before the Florida Department of State. Your certificate then has documentary effect outside the U.S. The official charges are included. |
| Certified translation (optional) | Certified translation of the certificate into the language required by the receiving institution, coordinated in the same order. |
| Logistics and international shipping | Dispatch of the final file by tracked courier (FedEx, UPS, DHL) to any country, calculated by destination. |
Your Florida marriage certificate is an official public document. It certifies a marriage validly celebrated under United States law. To present it before institutions abroad, you must legalize it internationally. For nations in the 1961 Hague Convention we handle the Apostille before the Florida Department of State. For non-member countries we run the chain of state, federal and consular authentication.
One honest point sets us apart. Whether a country recognizes the effects of a same-sex marriage depends on its own legislation. The apostilled certificate proves beyond dispute that you married validly in the U.S. However, how the law of your country treats it is a question for a local legal professional. We simply prepare the document so that, when that moment comes, it is perfect.
We are a real team in the heart of Brickell, not an anonymous internet form. Moreover, we celebrate every marriage to the same standard: impeccable legality, human warmth and documents ready for the world.
Our team includes Florida Notary Publics commissioned under Chapter 117 of the Florida Statutes. Florida is one of the few states whose law expressly authorizes them to solemnize marriages.
The Google rating of our office reflects years of work. We have celebrated marriages for local and foreign couples, always with punctuality and warmth.
We handle everything in English or Spanish, whichever you prefer. That covers guidance on the process, the English-language forms and the ceremony itself.
We receive you in person at 175 SW 7th St, Suite 1905, in the financial district of Miami. We are not an anonymous internet portal.
Personalized vows, an exchange of rings, the place you choose: your wedding does not have to feel like paperwork.
From the first form to the apostille delivered in your country: one party responsible for every link being right.

Yes. It has been legal in Florida since January 6, 2015. Furthermore, the Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges (June 26, 2015) guarantees it in all 50 states, the territories and Washington D.C. Moreover, the federal Respect for Marriage Act of 2022 obliges every state to recognize these marriages.
Yes. Florida requires no citizenship, no residency and no special status to issue a marriage license. It is enough that both of you are over 18, stand physically in Florida and present a valid passport. Besides, thousands of foreign couples marry legally in Miami every year. Many are same-sex couples from countries where they cannot marry.
The same as any couple. You need a valid passport for both and the license application before the Clerk of Courts. If either was married before, you also need the exact date of the divorce, annulment or death. Someone without a Social Security number simply declares that on the application. Moreover, we verify your case on WhatsApp before the trip.
Very little. A couple who does not live in Florida faces no waiting period. You can therefore obtain the license and marry the very same day. The license lasts 60 days, so you may also request it on arrival and marry later in the trip. The county issues certified copies days after the filing. We then receive them and ship them to you.
No. Florida law requires no witnesses either to issue the license or for the ceremony. You need only the couple, a valid license and a person legally authorized to solemnize the marriage. In our case, that is a commissioned Florida Notary Public.
Florida is one of the few U.S. states whose law (F.S. §117.045) expressly authorizes a Florida Notary Public to solemnize marriages. The validity matches that of a judge or a member of the clergy. After the ceremony, the officiant certifies the license. Then they return it to the county within the ten-day legal deadline for official filing.
Wherever you like within the Miami area: our Brickell office, your hotel, the beach, a restaurant or a private home. We hold the ceremony in English, in Spanish or in both languages. It can also include personalized vows and an exchange of rings. Besides, you set the tone, from intimate and brief to fully ceremonial.
Once the marriage is filed, the county issues the official certified marriage certificate. To present it outside the United States, we handle the Hague Apostille before the Florida Department of State. For non-member countries we arrange consular authentication instead. We also add the certified translation if the receiving institution requires it. Finally, tracked shipping reaches your country.
Your apostilled certificate proves officially that you entered into a valid marriage under U.S. law. That document carries full weight in the many countries and institutions that do recognize it. However, the concrete effects in your country depend on its own legislation. That assessment belongs to a local legal professional. Meanwhile, we hand you the perfect document to make it.
The cost has two components. First come the official fees: the Clerk of Courts license, the certified copies and the apostille charges. Then come our professional fees for guidance, ceremony and document handling. Because official fees change without notice, we give you the full quote in writing before we start, with every item listed.
The Florida marriage certificate is the underlying document that supports a surname change for either spouse. With your certified certificate, each of you can begin the procedure before the relevant authorities in your country or state. Remember to apostille it if the change will be processed outside the United States.
Yes, as long as the previous marriage ended legally. On the license application you must state the exact date of the divorce, the annulment or the death. If it is very recent, the county may ask for the judgment. Besides, we handle any apostilled documents from the previous marriage in the same order.
This service is part of our Marriage and Weddings pillar in Miami. If after the wedding you need extra copies of your marriage certificate or a certificate of single status for a procedure abroad, we handle them with the same apostille and shipping chain.
