Getting Legally Married in Key West: Requirements for US Couples
Legal ceremony availableWhat the law requires
Key West follows Florida state marriage law: couples need a valid government-issued photo ID and Social Security number. No waiting period for non-Florida residents and no blood test required. Marriage license is valid for 60 days from issue date. Florida residents must wait 3 days after issue (waivable with a premarital course). License fee is approximately $86.
Do your guests need a visa?
No visa for US passport holders on a typical wedding-length stay in United States. Guests just need a passport valid for the travel dates (six months beyond, to be safe).
Marriage laws and document requirements change. Confirm with your planner or the country's consulate before you book.
