Your Clark County Marriage Certificate may take up to three weeks to get mailed to you. Normally, the Nevada Marriage Certificate is available one day after your Las Vegas wedding official has submitted the marriage certificate for registration records. However, your Las Vegas wedding official may take longer than one day to submit your paperwork to the Clark County Marriage Bureau. In any case, the wedding official is required to send the paperwork within 10 days. Once completed the Clark County Marriage Bureau will mail you a copy of the certificate, which may take up to three weeks.
Your Clark County Marriage Certificate is proof that you and your spouse were legally married in Clark County. Once your certificate is sent to you then your spouse may legally change their last name. US citizens need to follow the proper procedures to change their last name according to their respective state’s laws. Be sure to inform yourself about the steps before starting the process.
