Marriage Licenses CA & NV

Wedding Licenses

California Marriage Licenses

You may purchase a Regular or Confidential marriage license.  A Regular license is a public record and requires only one witness.  A Confidential license is not a public record (requires a court order to obtain a copy for someone other than the parties on the license) and does not require a witness.  Both licenses are valid anywhere in the state of California and are valid for 90 days.

To obtain a license both parties must be present with valid photo identification and 18 years of age or older.  If either party has been divorced in the last 90 days, a certified copy of the final dissolution is required.

Nevada Marriage Licenses

For a Nevada wedding, the couple must obtain the marriage license directly from the county clerk’s office within the state. Ministers cannot issue a license for a Nevada wedding. The approximate cost is $70, but this will vary by county. Nevada marriage licenses have a one year expiration. Regardless of which county you obtain the license from, the ceremony can be performed anywhere in the State of Nevada. Only one witness is required.
