This is for after you are married…

You’ve made it through all the wedding planning. You’re married. Time to kick back and relax. Or maybe, like most folks out there, life happens. Work. School. Bills. Kids. Now is the time to think about things like name changes, insurance, banking, and more. All this legal paperwork can be very confusing! We are here to help you with all of this, whether you were married with us or not.

EVERYONE WILL NEED TO HAVE THIS DOCUMENT. ORDER THE EXPEDITED COPIES OF YOUR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT NEED IT BEFORE THE NORMAL TIME OF APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS TO GET TO YOU BY MAIL.

We will hand carry your Marriage Certificate to the Clerk’s office and wait on site for them to record it. Then we will purchase the Certified Copies for you. You will have the option of coming to pick it up from us or we can mail it to you.

We have two options available: (You will not need to decide on the pick-up or delivery at this time, we will get that information and payment at the time of your wedding)

1.  2 HOUR SERVICE. This is typically available Monday – Friday from 10:00am to 2:00pm. We can have your Certified Marriage Certificate ready for you within 2 hours after your wedding. The cost is $100 for one copy.

This is the document that you need to prove that you are married. It is recommended that you have at least two copies at all times. One copy should be kept for personal documentation (or even framing) and you should have at least one other copy that can be used to show proof of marriage. What many people do not realize is that you will have to change your name with every agency or business. It is not a one step deal.

Here are some of the reasons why you will need to provide your legal marriage license:

• DMV

• Social Security

• Passport

• Bank accounts

• Immigration

• Foreign Visa

• Work

• Health Insurance

• Medicaid

• Welfare Services

• IRS audit

• Home Mortgage

• Business venture

• Adoption

These are just some of the reasons why you need your legal marriage license, among many others. You should always have a few certified copies on hand. Many times when you have to send in a copy to a government agency, it can take a few weeks for them to mail it back to you. If you do not have multiple certified copies of your marriage certificate, getting your name changed and getting your benefits will very likely be delayed and take much longer to complete. You can order your certified marriage certificate right here in one simple step.

Expedited Marriage Certificate in Las Vegas

Need proof of your marriage quickly after your Las Vegas wedding? Paradise Wedding Chapel offers an expedited marriage certificate service for couples who need their certified marriage certificate as soon as possible after the ceremony.

This service is ideal for couples who need proof of marriage for a name change, immigration, insurance, military benefits, employment records, travel, international paperwork, apostille processing, or simply peace of mind before leaving Las Vegas.

With our expedited marriage certificate service, we can help have your marriage certificate expedited and recorded in as little as 2 hours when available. This service is typically available Monday through Friday before 2:00pm and is subject to county office availability, holidays, and processing schedules.

What Is an Expedited Marriage Certificate?

After your wedding ceremony, your officiant signs and completes the official marriage certificate. That document must then be filed and recorded with Clark County before a certified copy can be issued.

A certified marriage certificate is your legal proof that the wedding ceremony was performed and recorded. It is different from the marriage license you receive before the ceremony. The marriage license gives you permission to get married. The certified marriage certificate is the official proof that the marriage took place.

Our expedited marriage certificate service is designed to speed up the recording process so you can receive your certified proof of marriage much sooner than standard processing.

Why Couples Choose Expedited Service

Many couples come to Las Vegas from another state or another country and do not have time to wait for standard processing. If you are traveling home soon, changing your last name, applying for benefits, filing immigration paperwork, or preparing documents for international use, expedited service can make the process much easier.

Couples often choose expedited service because they need:

Proof of marriage before leaving Las Vegas
A certified certificate for a legal name change
Documentation for immigration or visa paperwork
A certificate for insurance, employment, or benefits
A certified copy for apostille processing
Faster handling for international marriage recognition
Peace of mind that the paperwork has been recorded quickly

How Fast Can I Get My Marriage Certificate?

In many cases, we can help have your marriage certificate recorded in as little as 2 hours. This expedited option is generally available Monday through Friday before 2:00pm.

Timing can depend on the time of your ceremony, the county office schedule, holidays, weekends, and whether all paperwork is completed correctly. If your ceremony takes place later in the day, on a weekend, or on a holiday, expedited recording may not be available until the next business day.

For the fastest possible service, schedule your ceremony early in the day Monday through Friday and let us know ahead of time that you need expedited certificate processing.

Who Should Order an Expedited Marriage Certificate?

This service is highly recommended for couples who need official proof of marriage quickly. It is especially helpful for destination wedding couples, international couples, military couples, couples flying home soon, and anyone who needs the certified certificate for legal or government purposes.

If you are unsure whether you need expedited service, it is usually better to order it before your wedding rather than discover later that you need the certificate sooner than standard processing allows.

Important Information

Expedited service depends on county office hours, weekday availability, holidays, and the timing of your ceremony. We will do everything possible to process your paperwork quickly, but no third party can control government office closures or processing delays.

This product is for expedited marriage certificate recording and certified certificate handling after a legal wedding ceremony has been performed. It does not replace the marriage license. You must still obtain a Nevada marriage license before the ceremony.
