Requirements for U.S. citizens and non U.S. citizens are the same.
To obtain your marriage license, both parties must appear in person before a Clerk at a Clark County Marriage Bureau location.
Applicants must be a biological male and a biological female, at least 18 years of age, and no nearer of kin than second cousins or cousins of half-blood, and not having a husband or wife living.
Nevada law allows only a male and female to be married. Domestic Partnership questions should be directed to the office of the Secretary of State in Carson City, Nevada at 800-992-0900 or at www.nvsos.gov
Identification to prove your name and age is required. Please be prepared. Without acceptable identification, we cannot issue a marriage license. Go to acceptable identification for specific information on forms of identification.
Your Marriage License and Certificate will be prepared with your legal name exactly as it appears on the identification presented. It is your responsibility to present the proper identification to have your name reflected as you desire. For example, if you want your Marriage License and Certificate to reflect your full middle name, the identification you present must contain your full middle name - not an initial.
No blood test is required.
There is no waiting period to get married after the marriage license has been issued.
It is suggested that non-U.S. citizens check with their local officials for special documents needed to ensure their marriage is recognized in their country.
All U.S. citizens are required to provide their Social Security number on the Affidavit of Application for a Marriage License. You do not need to present your Social Security card. Those applicants not issued a Social Security number by the United States will enter “none” in the appropriate box.
