Getting
a Las Vegas Marriage License
Like all of Nevada, Las Vegas has simple marriage requirements
that make it easy to walk in, get your license, and head straight
to the chapel with no wait.
New Location for the Marriage Bureau.
In October 2005, the Marriage Bureau moved from its longtime location
on Third Street just around the corner to this address:
201 Clark Avenue
Las Vegas, Nevada 89155-1603
The new phone number
is (702) 671-0600.
Hours: Its no secret
that weekends are the peak time for Vegas weddings and a look
at the Marriage Bureaus hours verifies this. You can obtain
a marriage license from Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m.
to 12:00 (Midnight). On Friday, the office opens at 8:00 a.m.
and remains open around the clock until Sunday at midnight. On
holidays, the office also remains open 24 hours daily.

Cost:
The fee for a marriage license is US$55.
Filling Out Your Form Online: You
can fill out your marriage license application online by printing
out the form
from the Marriage Bureau website.
However, you cant
file the form online (or by mail); you need to print your completed
form and bring it into the Marriage Bureau office with you. Youll
find applications and instructions in several languages on the
site.
Requirements:
You can get a Las Vegas marriage license if:
- You are a male-female
couple. (Commitment ceremonies are offered by many chapels but
you don't need a license.)
- You are each at
least 18 years of age. (If youre young, be sure to bring
proof of age. If you are age 16 or 17, you must have parental
consent to be married.)
- If you are no closer
relation than second cousins.
- If you are single,
divorced, or widowed. (If divorced, you dont need your
divorce decree; you do need to know when and where your divorce
was granted. Your divorce must be final and already filed with
the courts.)
- You will need to
know your Social Security number.
Identification:
Whether you are a US citizen or not, youll each need to
show one of these forms of identification:
- Driver's License
or State-issued I.D. card.
- Original or Certified
copy of Birth Certificate (if you were born outside the US,
your birth certificate must be translated into English and notarized)
- Passport
- Military Identification
- Resident alien
card
Note
for non-US citizens: The Marriage Bureau suggests that
you check with your local consulate or embassy to see if there
are any special documents needed to ensure that your marriage
be recognized in your home country. Be sure to ask if your home
country requires an Apostille. If so, you can obtain one from
the Nevada Secretary of State by writing:
Nevada Secretary
of State
Capitol Complex
Carson City, Nevada 89710
Phone (800) 992-0900 ext. 5708
