Las Vegas Marriage License

Las Vegas marriage license is easy to obtain. But don't wait until the last minute to get it because on some days the waiting line can be seen circling around the building. It's OK to be fashionably late to your wedding, but you don't want to miss the most romantic day of your life and be stressed out.

Keep in mind that Las Vegas weddings are performed only for a male and female couple. No same sex or multiple marriages are allowed in Nevada. Some Las Vegas chapels do cater to gay couples who want to have commitment ceremonies.

Before your wedding you need to get your marriage license. The chapel you are getting married at can help you get organized but don't wait until the last minute or you won't be taking any wedding photo.

Here are some helpful tips to get you prepared ahead of time so you can be the most beautiful and relaxed bride and groom.
1) You must be 18 years of age. You don't need consent but you may need to show proof of age.
2) Both you and your significant other must be present at the License Bureau.
3) Your Social Security Number must be on the Affidavit of Application for a marriage license.
4) You must pay in CASH only.
5) You need the proper ID. Bring an original or a certified copy of ONE of the following:
A Driver's License, an Instruction Permit or ID card from Nevada or another state, a Passport, a Birth Certificate and a second form of ID that has your name on it, a Military ID Card or Military Dependant ID Card, a Certificate of Citizenship, a Certificate of Naturalization, a Permanent Resident Card or a Temporary Resident Card.
6) The names on your Las Vegas marriage license must match the names on your Identification.

There are two important reasons why over 112,000 people tie the knot in Vegas every year. First, you don't need a blood test and second, you can get married immediately after you receive your license. In other words, there is no waiting period like in other states.

If you are from another country and the County Clerk doesn't understand your birth certificate, he may ask that it be translated into English and notarized. If you are renewing your vows, you don't need a Las Vegas marriage license. You can go to a chapel in one of the Las Vegas casinos and show them proof of marriage or your Marriage Certificate before the ceremony begins.

It's important to remember that if you want your marriage to be legal, you must have the ceremony performed in the State of Nevada within one year of receiving your marriage license. Any wedding chapel, church or the Civil Marriage Commissioner's Office will honor your certificate. And of course, your Marriage Certificate is recognized all over the world. Do what so many couples have done and get your Las Vegas marriage license.
