From the 16th century on, Spain, France and Britain all tried their hand at colonizing Florida. In 1821, Andrew Jackson established a new territorial government on behalf of the United States. Florida vital records for marriage and divorce are available, for a fee and with valid photo identification, from the state Bureau of Vital Statistics from June 6, 1927, to the present. There is an additional fee if you do not know the exact date. The fees are payable by personal check or money order. Individuals requesting Florida vital records by mail must provide a signed letter or application which includes information about the record being requested and the person making the request. More information on Florida marriage records and Florida divorce records is available at http://www.doh.state.fl.us/planning_eval/vital_statistics/marriage.htm.
