Common Questions
Answers verified against official agency websites and state statutes. Note: County-level FAQ — applies to all of Lee County. No city-specific FAQ is available yet — the answers below apply to the broader jurisdiction.
How do I confirm whether someone is married in Lee?▼
To confirm whether someone is married in Lee County, Florida, search two layers. Marriage licenses are filed at the Lee County Clerk of the Circuit Court at https://www.leeclerk.org — its Marriage License Search is free and includes records back to the 1800s. Statewide marriage indexes back to June 6, 1927 are searchable at the Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics — order a marriage certificate at https://www.floridahealth.gov/certificates-records/marriage-certificates ($5 search + $10 per copy). For divorce status, check the Lee Clerk Family Law division and statewide CCIS at https://www.flccis.com — divorce makes the prior marriage void. Marriage records are public under Ch. 119 F.S. with no waiting period. Lee County issues licenses for $86 (regular) or $61 (after a 4-hour Florida-approved premarital course under §741.0305 F.S.). Address: 2115 Second St, Fort Myers FL 33901; phone 239-533-5000. Out-of-state marriages won't be in Florida indexes — try VitalChek for nationwide ordering at https://www.vitalchek.com.
How can I find out if someone has an outstanding warrant in Bay?▼
Outstanding warrants in Bay County, Florida are checked through the Bay County Sheriff's Office Warrants Division at https://bayso.org/warrants. The Warrants Division enters all felony warrants into BCSO's Records Management System, NCIC, and the FCIC/FDLE statewide system. The statewide FDLE Wanted Persons database is at http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/restricted/PAS/person/WantedPersons.jsf. For a personal warrant check, call BCSO Records Division at (850) 747-4700 or visit 3421 N Highway 77, Panama City FL 32405; staff will not confirm by phone but you can ask in person. Many people instead retain a Florida attorney to clear the warrant before walk-in to avoid arrest. Active misdemeanor and traffic warrants also appear on the Bay County Clerk of Court case search at https://www.baycoclerk.com. Federal warrants are not in the local system — check US Marshals at https://www.usmarshals.gov/wanted. Quashing a warrant in Florida requires a motion to the circuit or county court under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.730.
Where do I look up warrants in Marion?▼
Active warrants in Marion County, Florida are checked through the Marion County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) Warrants Division at https://www.marionso.com — phone 352-732-9111, located at 692 NW 30th Ave, Ocala FL 34475. The MCSO Warrants Unit enters all felony warrants into NCIC, FCIC, and the FDLE Wanted Persons database at http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/restricted/PAS/person/WantedPersons.jsf (publicly searchable). Active misdemeanor and traffic warrants also appear on the Marion County Clerk of Court case search at https://www.marioncountyclerk.org. Local police departments (Ocala PD at https://www.ocalafl.gov, Belleview PD, Dunnellon PD) feed warrants into MCSO's system. Calling about your own warrant: staff will not confirm by phone, but you may ask at the Records counter — many people retain a Florida criminal-defense attorney to clear the warrant before walk-in to avoid arrest. Federal warrants: US Marshals at https://www.usmarshals.gov/wanted. Quashing requires a motion under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.730 to the Marion County Clerk.
