how long to get marriage certificate?

I was married Nov 7 and mailed the marriage license back to Broward County on Nov 9. How long does it usually take to get the marriage certificate? Thanks!

We received ours after about 6 weeks.

Carmen, isn't it only valid for 60 days??? We haven't hit the 60 day mark yet... I'm confused...

We received ours a few days after our wedding. It was definetly less than a week. HTH!

So anywhere from less than a week to more than 6 weeks? crazy! I hope we get ours sooner rather than later. DH's insurance said he has 30 days to add me, and we leave on our honeymoon cruise the Saturday after Thanksgiving, so we need for it to arrive before then. Although I'm assuming we should be able to call for an extension or something if we don't have it within 30 days. Hopefully we won't have to find out lol Thanks girls!

I believe our certificate came back 2 weeks after the wedding, but in Broward they tell you to expect it back in 4-6 weeks, so we were fortunate to get it back much sooner.

Jaime we're legally married already.  We've been legally married since January 1, 2009. LOL!  We're just having the ceramony and reception in January.  There was no way I was going to get married without having a big bash!
