    Once you get your license you can get married—there is no waiting period. The marriage license expires one year from the date it is issued. The ceremony must be performed in Nevada by an Officiant licensed in Nevada. Someone other than the Officiant must witness you saying your vows. Apply online (your application will stay in our system for one year). No appointment is necessary and it typically takes less than one hour.

    Nevada does not have a blood test requirement or waiting period. The Marriage License Bureau is open from 8 a.m. to midnight, 365 days per year and does not take appointments – just walk in at your convenience! It takes about 15 minutes to issue the paperwork. After your ceremony, the marriage officiant has ten calendar days to deliver your completed marriage certificate to our office for filing.
