Las Vegas Marriage Certificate for Name Change
If you were married in Las Vegas and plan to change your last name, you will usually need a certified copy of your marriage certificate. The marriage license you receive before the ceremony is not usually enough for a legal name change. You need the certified proof that the marriage was performed and recorded.
Paradise Wedding Chapel offers expedited marriage certificate service for couples who need their certified certificate quickly after the ceremony.
Why You Need a Certified Marriage Certificate
A certified marriage certificate is the official document used to show proof of marriage. It may be requested when updating your name with Social Security, the DMV, passport services, banks, insurance companies, employers, and other agencies.
The certified copy normally includes official certification and is used as proof that your marriage has been legally recorded.
Get Your Certificate Faster
If you need to start your name change right away, expedited service can help. With our expedited marriage certificate service, your certificate may be recorded in as little as 2 hours when available.
This service is typically available Monday through Friday before 2:00pm and depends on county office availability, holidays, and processing schedules.
Ideal for Couples Leaving Las Vegas
Many couples get married in Las Vegas and return home within a day or two. Expedited certificate service can help you avoid delays when you begin the name change process after your trip.
Instead of waiting for standard processing, you can request faster handling so your official proof of marriage is available sooner.
What to Bring to Your Ceremony
Bring your Nevada marriage license to your wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, the officiant completes the required paperwork. If you are requesting expedited certificate service, let the chapel know ahead of time so we can prepare for faster processing.
Start Your Name Change with Confidence
A Las Vegas wedding is exciting, easy, and memorable. Paradise Wedding Chapel helps make the paperwork easier too. If you need your certified marriage certificate for a name change, ask us about expedited service when booking your ceremony.
