Marriage License Requirements: Requirements for U.S. citizens and Non U.S. citizens
are the same. It is suggested that Non U.S. citizens check with your local
officials for special documents that may be needed to ensure that
your marriage will be recognized in your country.
Applicants
must be a Male and a Female, at least 18 years of age, and not nearer
of kin than second cousins or cousins of half blood, and not having a
husband or wife living.
Applicants may be required to prove their age. Those not having
acceptable identification to prove age may be refused a marriage
license. (Faxed copies, damaged identification, privately issued ID,
check cashing cards or photocopies of identification are
unacceptable.)
Social Security Numbers are required on marriage licenses. Please
know your Social Security Number. Those without knowledge of their
Social Security Number may be refused a marriage license. It is
recognized that Non U.S. citizens will not have a Social Security
Number.
Allowed Identification
Driver's License or State-issued ID card
Original or Certified copy of Birth Certificate
Foreign Birth Certificate must be translated into English and notarized
Passport
Military Identification
Resident alien card
Minimum Age
For both male and female, age 18, proof
of age may be required. A birth certificate, passport or draft card is acceptable. Persons
between the ages of 16 and 18 may be married with the consent of a parent or guardian.
Proof of age is necessary and proof of identity of person or persons giving consent may
also be required. A legal guardian must provide proof of appointment by the court. If a
parent or guardian is not present, a notarized affidavit stating name, age, place of birth
and relationship of person(s) giving consent. For persons under the age of 16, a Nevada
Court Order must be obtained.
Divorce
Divorce papers are not required for a remarriage in Nevada. You will
be required to sign on your marriage license application that you are
legally divorced. A divorce granted in another state must be final in
the state in which it was granted.
If you are divorced, it must be final. You must know the month, year,
city and state in which the divorce was final.
Witness
There must be at least one additional witness other than the person
performing the ceremony.
