Clark County exact answer

What prior-marriage documents are required in Clark County?

This answer belongs to the issuing office and task named above. It does not substitute a statewide summary or infer a rule the office does not publish.

Direct answer

In Clark County, an applicant who has been divorced, widowed or had a marriage annulled states the date on the application, and may enter the closest date recalled if the exact date is unknown. No copy of the divorce decree is required unless the decree grants the use of a name different from the name on the applicant's current valid government-issued photo ID. No death certificate is required from a widowed applicant. The application also asks for the number of this marriage — the total of all previous marriages and annulments, plus one.

    You must be at least 18 years old. There is no waiting period. You do not need a blood test. You both have to be here in-person at the same time to complete the process and obtain your marriage license. A marriage license costs $102; you can pay by credit or debit card, but there is an additional fee -- and checks are not accepted. Once you submit your application, it will stay in our system for one year.
