License Requirements
Requirements for U.S.

It is suggested that non U.S. citizens check with your local officials

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. 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.
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 I.D.,
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
