Tips for Obtaining a Las Vegas Wedding License Knowing what to expect when you go to obtain your Las Vegas Wedding License can help save you time and some frustration. The Las Vegas Marriage Bureau is located in the downtown area of Las Vegas. They issued over 120,000 marriage licenses last year alone, so careful planning before you go to obtain the license for your wedding can help you avoid long lines and return trips if you don’t have the proper documentation.
Here are some tips to help make obtaining your marriage license easy:
1. The marriage bureau is opened 8am to Midnight during the week and stays open all weekend from 8am Friday morning until Midnight Sunday night. They are also open 24 hours on Holidays. Avoid going to get a license on a holiday weekend. Holidays are very popular for weddings in Las Vegas and lines can be a few hours long. Also lines tend to be longer on weekends than on weekdays so go during the week if you can.
2. Make sure you have everything you need. They charge a $55 fee that must be paid in cash plus both parties must be present and provide a valid form of I.D. Some of the forms of I.D. that they accept are original or certified copies of birth certificates, driver’s licenses, state issued I.D. cards, foreign birth certificates (notarized and translated into English), passports, military I.D., or resident alien cards.
3. If you are divorced, you must know the exact date and location and the divorce must be final in the courts.
Obtaining a marriage license for your Las Vegas wedding is a fairly easy process. There are no blood tests or waiting periods for obtaining one so as long as you come prepared with everything you need and avoid the crowded times, you should be able to walk out of the Las Vegas Marriage Bureau in under an hour with your license to wed!
