Life Events & Records
Marriage License and Passport (Clerk of Court)
The Pinellas County Clerk of the Circuit Court issues marriage licenses and accepts U.S. passport applications. Both parties must appear together for a marriage license; Florida residents face a 3-day waiting period unless they complete a registered premarital course, which also reduces the license fee by $32.50. Passport applications (Form DS-11) are accepted at the Clerk's Clearwater and St. Petersburg offices for a $35 acceptance fee plus State Department fees.
Vehicle and Vessel Registration (Tax Collector)
The Pinellas County Tax Collector is the FLHSMV agent for titles, registrations, and driver licenses. New Florida residents must register vehicles within 10 days of establishing residency (employment, school enrollment, or residency), paying a $225 initial registration fee when there is no Florida plate to transfer. Motorized vessels must be registered within 30 days of purchase.
