    ID Requirement Valid picture identification.

    Acceptable identification includes:

    • Valid Driver's License

    • Valid Identification Card from DMV

    • Valid Passport

    • Valid Military ID

    • Resident Alien card

    • Certified or original Birth Certificate.

    • If a foreign birth certificate, it must be translated into English and notarized.

    • You need to know your social security number, too!

    Residency Requirement: Do not have to be a resident of Nevada.

    If Divorced: Your divorce must be final. You need to know the date (month, year) of your divorce, and the location (city and state) where you were divorced.

    Application Requirement: Both the bride and groom must appear in person at the time of applying.

    Waiting Period: No waiting period.

    Fees: $35.00 - $42.00 (depends on County) - Cash Only.

    Blood Tests: No blood test requirement.

    Under 18: If you are 16 or 17 years old, you must have one parent or legal guardian present. A notarized written permission is also acceptable. It must be written in English and needs to state the name, birth date, age of the minor child, along with the relationship of the person giving consent. The notary must note that the parent or guardian personally appeared before or was subscribed and sworn to. If you are under 16, marriage can be authorized only by court order when the request has been filed by either parent or legal guardian.

    Proxy Marriages: No. Both parties must be present.

    Cousin Marriages: Not nearer of kin than second cousins or cousins of half blood.

    Miscellaneous: Requirements for U.S. citizens and Non U.S. citizens are the same.

    Officiants: Any ordained minister in good standing with his denomination, whose denomination is incorporated or organized or established in the State of Nevada may perform marriages. Ministers are required to complete a complicated procedure to obtain a certificate of permissions to perform marriages. Among other requirements, the applicant's ministry must be primarily one of service to his congregation or denomination and his performance of marriages must be incidental to such service.

    Valid: License is valid for 1 year.

    The license can only be used within the State of Nevada.

    Please Note: State and county marriage license requirements often change. The above information is for guidance only and should not be regarded as legal advice.

    It is important that you verify all information with your local marriage license office or county clerk before making any wedding or travel plans.

    you % a Nevada marriage license. A CA ML has no jurisdiction in Nevada ***They city hall in Las Vegas is relatively open 24 hours for marriage licenses !!! i'm no longer kidding! that's how human beings get married in the path of the night there. that's fairly a reasonably elementary technique. good good fortune and congrats

    I got married in Vegas. All we did was go to the courthouse at about 10:30am, stood in line for about an hour and a half, we had to show our drivers licenses,you might also need ss card, but I can't remember, and I forgot what the fee is but I don't remember it being much at all. Then right from there we went to the chapel and were married by 1:00. Congrats!!!!!!

    Yes, you need a license, like every other state. There is no waiting period to get it, but you have to wait in line.
