The Marriage Requirements for US and non-US Citizens are the same:

You must obtain your Marriage License in person at the Marriage License Bureau in the Clark County Courthouse: 200 South Third Street, 1st Floor (702) 455-4416 Both parties must be present.

The Bureau is open from 8:00 a.m. on Friday through Midnight on Sunday - around the clock, and from 8:00 a.m. to Midnight - Monday through Thursday (This schedule is subject to change, therefore check with the Bureau for the latest hours).(Check

The application requires a cash fee of $55.00. (Correct change is very much appreciated.)

There is no waiting period and no blood test is required.

If you are 18 years of age or older, you will need identification - in the form of a driver's license, certified copy of your birth certificate, your passport, or military I.D.

Foreign couples need same types of I.D.

In order to have a legal marriage, a ceremony must be performed in the State of Nevada within one year from the date of issuance of the marriage license by any person licensed or authorized to perform ceremonies in Nevada.

Foreign Couples: Important information on legalizing your marriage is on the Weddings FAQ's page.

If you are 16 or 17 years of age, parental consent is required either by a parent present with you or by means of a notarized affidavit signed by a parent.

Things to Remember:

Many of the wedding chapels, either as part of a package or by special arrangement, will provide limousine transportation to take you to the Courthouse.

Most wedding packages do not include minister's fees (or honorariums) nor limousine driver's fees or gratuities.

Plan as far in advance as reasonably possible - but before making any commitments or paying any deposits, be certain you understand the chapel's deposit / refund policies (Many require non-refundable deposits).

Many chapels provide their own services (flowers, photography, videos, etc.) and either frown upon outside services or have limitations. Be sure you ask, if this is important to you.

Most chapels have a la carte selections for the ceremony and extra services, but packages are usually a better value if you want more than the very basic.
