Question 1

WHAT ABOUT THE LICENSE?

Accepted Answer

No matter how beautiful your Las Vegas wedding may be, you’re not married until Reverend Janet signs the Las Vegas Marriage License; so it’s a very important part of the ceremony. The information below will assist you in obtaining the license.
 • There is no blood test and no waiting period.
 • You both must go in person and prove your identity (drivers license, passport, social security number, etc)
 • Cost is $77
 • Address is 201 East Clark Avenue, Las Vegas 89155 - map(https://www.google.com/maps/place/201+E+Clark+Ave,+Las+Vegas,+NV+89101)
 • Phone number is (702) 671-0600(tel:(702) 671-0600)
 • Hours: Open 8 to midnight seven days a week including holidays. 
Prior to your ceremony, it is best to make application online at clarkcountynv.gov/clerk (http://clarkcountynv.gov/clerk) This will make the process easier once you arrive at the marriage bureau. Both the application and the marriage license are good for one year. The day of your wedding, bring the entire license packet to the ceremony, your wedding officiant will fill out all the paperwork and make sure it gets recorded with local officials after the wedding.
