Sign Up for eNotify to Receive Case Reminders

I wanted to inform you of a new service that is currently available for criminal felony cases. This new program notifies registered users about court events, like hearing dates, electronically via text or email.

eNotify was initially piloted in Orange, Nassau and Okaloosa, and will soon go live statewide. At that time, registered users will also be able to receive notifications for misdemeanor and traffic cases in addition to criminal felonies.

You can sign up for e-notifications or learn more at enotify.flcourts.org.

Get Married in Special Valentine's Day Courthouse Group Wedding Ceremony

Due to the overwhelming response to our group wedding ceremony last year, my office will once again hold a group wedding ceremony on Valentine's Day. This year, the ceremony will be held in the jury room on the first floor of the downtown Orlando courthouse. This will be no ordinary ceremony. We anticipate up to 30 couples will come together to say their vows on Friday, February 14 at 1:00 p.m.

Participation in the group event will cost $50, and will entitle you and your future spouse to a commemorative certificate, complimentary wedding photos, and a special gift as part of the package. Please note that you will still need to pay the fee for the marriage license itself in addition to this package fee.

If you’d like to participate in the group wedding event, you must first obtain your marriage license. Visit the marriage section of our website for more details on the requirements.

After you obtain your marriage license, you can register for the Valentine's Day group wedding ceremony by clicking the button below.

For those looking for a more intimate and private setting, individual wedding ceremonies can be performed at the courthouse ceremony room and at our branch locations on Valentine's Day or any other date we are open for business. You can schedule an appointment for a private wedding ceremony on our website.

Employee Spotlight: Steven

You may have seen my staff's friendly faces at the front counters, spoken with helpful individuals on the phone, visited our website, or perhaps attended court and witnessed our trial clerks in action. But do you know what employees at the Clerk's Office really do each day?

We produced a video series to provide a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to work at the Clerk's Office through my staff's eyes. Each month, I will highlight one employee spotlight video. This month, a trial clerk named Steven shares his story about working in the Family division.

Tell Us How We're Doing

If you have recently conducted business with the Clerk’s Office, I’d like to hear from you. Customer service is at the core of what we do for the citizens of Orange County.

Please take a moment to let us know what we did well as well as where we still have opportunities to improve.
