What Documents Do You Need to Get Married in Las Vegas?

To get legally married in Las Vegas, you will need a valid marriage license issued by the Clark County Marriage License Bureau. Both parties must appear together in person to obtain the license before the ceremony.

In most cases, you will need:

A valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport
Both parties present at the Marriage License Bureau
The legal names, dates of birth, and personal information for both parties
Payment for the marriage license fee ($102)

Once you receive your marriage license, you may bring it to Paradise Wedding Chapel for your wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, the officiant will sign and file the paperwork with Clark County.

Getting Your Certified Marriage Certificate After the Wedding

After your wedding ceremony has been performed and filed, you may need a certified marriage certificate as legal proof of your marriage. A certified marriage certificate is commonly needed for name changes, insurance updates, immigration paperwork, bank records, government agencies, and other legal purposes.

Paradise Wedding Chapel can assist with ordering certified copies of your marriage certificate so you do not have to navigate the process on your own. This is especially helpful for couples who are leaving Las Vegas shortly after the ceremony or who live outside of Nevada.

Documents for International Couples

If you were married in Las Vegas and need to use your marriage documents outside the United States, you may need additional certified documents or an apostille. Requirements can vary depending on the country where the document will be used.

Some international couples may need:

A certified marriage certificate
A certified abstract of marriage
A certified copy of the marriage license or affidavit
An apostille for international recognition
Expedited document processing and shipping

Paradise Wedding Chapel offers document services to help couples obtain the paperwork they need after their Las Vegas wedding. We can help explain the available options and assist with ordering documents for domestic or international use.

Apostille Documents for a Las Vegas Marriage

An apostille may be required when a certified Nevada marriage document will be used in another country that accepts apostilles. This is often needed for immigration, residency, legal filings, registration of marriage abroad, or government requirements outside the United States.

If you are unsure whether you need an apostille, it is best to check with the agency, embassy, consulate, or government office requesting the document. Paradise Wedding Chapel can help you order the proper certified marriage document and assist with apostille processing when needed.

Same Day and Expedited Document Options

Many couples need their wedding documents quickly. Whether you are traveling, changing your name, filing immigration paperwork, or returning home after your Las Vegas wedding, expedited service may be available.

Paradise Wedding Chapel offers convenient document ordering options for couples who need faster processing. We can help you understand which document is right for your situation and how to request certified copies after your ceremony has been filed.
