Frequently Asked Questions
Do both me and my partner need to pay for the course?
No, absolutely not. The single enrollment fee of $14.49 covers both partners. You do not need to register twice or pay a double fee. You complete the 4-hour online curriculum together, and individual state-certified certificates of completion are issued for each person to present at the county clerk’s office.
Is a Christian/Faith-based course accepted by the State of Florida?
Yes, absolutely. Because Kristen Franzen is an ordained minister and a licensed clinical psychotherapist registered with the state, our Faith-Friendly track fully satisfies the legal mandates of Florida Statute § 741.0305. Your certificate will guarantee your $25 discount and waive the 3-day wait at every circuit court in Florida.
How long does this online course take?
Florida law strictly requires a minimum of 4 hours of premarital education. The course is self-paced online, meaning you can log in and out whenever convenient. You must review the materials for 4 hours before your official state certification is unlocked.

To successfully apply for your marriage license, both you and your partner must appear together in person. You must bring:
