Clerk's Office

What information do we need to purchase a marriage license?

Each applicant must provide government issued photo ID containing the person’s legal name and date of birth (see Marriage FAQs:  What Should I Bring for Identification? and What If I’m Not 18? for more information).  Your name and birth date will appear on your marriage license exactly as they appear on the ID you present.

Nevada Revised Statute 122.040(3) requires each applicant to provide the following information under oath:

1. Information about applicant:
   1. Place of residence (city and state or, if outside the U.S.A., name of country)
   2. Place of birth (city and state or, if outside the U.S.A., name of country)
   3. Social Security Number (documentation is not required). If a person does not have a Social Security Number, the person must state that fact
   4. Prior marriages (documentation is not required)
      1. Number of this marriage (1st, 2nd, etc.)
      2. How most recent marriage ended (death, divorce or annulment)
      3. Where most recent marriage ended (city and state, if outside U.S.A., name of country)
      4. When most recent marriage ended (month and year)
2. Parental Information
   1. Father's name
   2. Father's place of birth (state or, if outside the U.S.A., name of country)
   3. Mother's name (maiden)
   4. Mother's place of birth (state or, if outside the U.S.A., name of country)
3. Mailing address for the couple
