Is this course still being offered? My son is in the military and will be coming down to Miami in October. Can he take the course now and have it ready for when he comes down to be able to go to the court house to get married? Can he take it by himself? Please let me know since I am trying to organize his time down with us.
Yes, $19.99 per couple. Best, Dr. D
Can my fiance and i take this course together and only pay one fee of $19.99 or do we both have to pay $19.99 each ?
4 hours minimum to complete. Take as much time as you need.
How long does this course take to complete? And can you take more time if needed?
Are you asking about your electronic certificate or your hard copy mailed certificate?
I have taken this course and have not received My certificate.
I’ve read around that it is required for both parties to have a certificate of completion. If we decide to take it together, will both our names be on the certificate?Will we get two individual certificates?
Yes, Pinellas County will accept the electronic/printed certificate.
Does Pinellas county accept the electronic/printed certificate? Planning to do this tonight and go and tie the knot tomorrow morning! 🙂
Does Polk county accept the electronic certificate? And are we able to start the course and stop at anytime and start again?
Yes Duval County accepts an electronic certificate
Hello my fiance’ and I are planning to get married the same day as we apply for the license. Do Duval County need an official copy of completion or will they accept an electronic copy?
Thank you so much
Yes…you can take it for both of you and if you are getting married in Florida you will receive the benefits of savings and avoiding the 3 day wait. Best, Dr. D
Hello. My Fiance is in the military and is stationed in Hawaii. He was born here in Florida. Do we both need to take the course or can I do it alone to receive the benefits and avoid the three days.
Brevard County does not require an original signature on the certificate of completion. If you purchase our course online, complete the course, and submit the questionnaire at the end, a certificate of completion will be automatically sent to you.
Brevard County
That depends on the county and whether you need a mailed certificate or an electronic will do. What county are you getting married in? Best, Dr. D
My fiance and I would like to take the course today and by the end of the day get married is that something that will be possible. I am an over-the-road truck driver and I have to leave back on the road tomorrow
We will send you a certificate with a registered number that cannot be done automatically. You will receive a certificate within one business day once you complete the course. We will send that to you by email.
Is there an electronic copy of the certificate made available or do I have to wait for a certificate to be mailed?
If one or either of you does the course you can get married on the same day that you apply we will just make sure that both of your names are on the certificate we would prefer that both of you did the course together though as it is very helpful and very informative congratulations
my fiance is from new york and he is coming to florida the 10th of august, we want to get married that same day if we complete the course could we get married that day? he is from new york does he need to do the course? to wave the 3 days
The course is valid for a year and so is a certificate
I’m getting married in October, how soon can I take the course and how long is it valid?
Yes it does. Our Premarital Course is approved in all 67 counties in Florida.
Best,
Dr. D
Does the PG Premarital Course apply to anyone living in Hillsborough County?
Yes you need a specific certificate for Taylor County and my assistant will send that to you tomorrow
Do I have to wait for a copy of completion certificate to be mailed to get my marriage license in Taylor County Florida
You can certainly both take it separately or just one of you to get the benefits and savings!
Both the bride and groom are in the service and stationed in different states. They are planning on flying to Florida to have a small beach wedding. My question is, are they required to complete the online course together or can they complete the course separately?
Great question Jeff. Taking a course that is virtually free that decreases your chance of divorce by teaching each of you about yourselves and each other and about communication and resolving conflict is invaluable. Plus, you avoid the three day wait and can get married the same day that you apply for your marriage. Sitting through a 4 hour course that has so many benefits and is virtually free sounds like a great deal to me. Best, Dr. D
so I trying to figured out the monetary benefit of taking this…its 93.50 without, $60 with plus the 20.00 making it $80..so why sit through a 4 hour course to save $13?
Yes it is Jason. Our premarital Course is for all couples! Best, Dr.D
Is this applicable to same sex couples?
Teresa, Yes it will! Congrats to you and your future husband!
Best,
Dr. D
My fiancé is a Marine & comes home for a week at Christmas, we plan to get married the 27th in Clay County, Orange Park Fl. Will this course waive the three day waiting period? We’d like to get married the same day because he has to leave two days after we plan to marry.
Yes we do…Our course works for Miami Dade!
Best,
Dr. D
Do you guys have a course for Miami dade county ?
If you get married in Florida you will receive the discount even if you are a resident of another state.
Is the marriage course for Florida residents only? What if my fiancé and I are from Texas and would like marry in Florida? Can I take the course and receive the marriage license discount?
Thank you
One year
