Getting Married in Las Vegas

Please visit the Clark County Clerk’s website for the most up to date requirements.

  • Two people who are currently unmarried and at least 18 years of age

  • You must have government-issued identification with a photo displaying your current likeness (for example, a driver's license or passport)

  • Blood tests are not required

  • You must not be nearer to kin than second cousins or cousins of half-blood.

For legally binding unions

  • Once you get your license you can get married—there is no waiting period

  • The marriage license expires one year from the date it is issued

  • The ceremony must be performed in Nevada by an Officiant licensed in Nevada

  • Someone other than the Officiant must witness you saying your vows

Step 1: Apply for a Marriage License

  • Apply online (your application will stay in our system for one year)

  • Both parties must complete their own information, and names must match exactly as shown on the identification that will be presented when appearing in person

  • Be sure to check all spelling, as corrections to marriage documents may result in a fee

  • Once submitted, save your confirmation number and bring it with you

Step 2: Pick Up Your Marriage License

  • Together, go to the Clark County Marriage License Bureau

  • No appointment is necessary and it typically takes less than one hour

  • Provide the clerk your confirmation number or names and present your identification

  • Verify all of your information is correct before leaving

  • Pay the $102 fee. You can pay by credit or debit card, but there is an additional fee -- and checks are not accepted.

Step 3: Say “I Do!”

  • Bring all of your paperwork with you to the ceremony (marriage license, marriage certificate and keepsake)

  • State your vows in front of at least one witness (someone other than the Officiant)

  • The Officiant will file your marriage certificate within ten calendar days (if you need proof of marriage earlier, discuss options with your Officiant)

Step 4: Show the World that You are Married

  • Once filed, your certified marriage certificate can be ordered online or purchased in person

  • Marriage certificates cost $20 for each certified copy

  • If needed, an Apostille can be obtained from the Nevada Secretary of State's Office (check with your government if you are unsure)
