Step 1: Apply For Your Marriage License
Clark County lets couples start the marriage license application online. Make sure names match the identification you will present in person.
Step 2: Pick Up The License Together
Both parties go to the Clark County Marriage License Bureau together. Bring government-issued photo identification.
Step 3: Bring The License To Your Ceremony
Your ceremony must happen in Nevada and be performed by a Nevada-licensed officiant.
Someone other than the officiant must witness your vows.
Step 4: The Officiant Files The Paperwork
After the ceremony, the officiant signs and files the completed marriage certificate within the required filing window.
Step 5: Order Proof Of Marriage
Once the marriage is recorded, you can order a certified marriage certificate from Clark County.
The Simple Vegas Version
Apply online. Pick up the license together. Meet your officiant. Say "I do." Let the officiant handle the required filing. Go enjoy Vegas.
