Below, you’ll find all the steps you’ll need to complete — from licensing to ceremony — so that your special day is everything you dream of.
Step 1:
Complete the Online Marriage Application

- The application stays in the system for one year once submitted.
- Note: Even after submitting online, both applicants must appear in person at the Marriage License Bureau.
Step 2:
Visit the Marriage License Bureau Together
- Both partners must appear in person together at the Clark County Marriage License Bureau (201 E Clark Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89101) to receive your license.
- Hours: 8 a.m. to midnight, every day, including holidays.
- Bring required documents:
- Valid, government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, military ID, etc.).
- If previously divorced or widowed: you’ll need the date and place of finalization (but not necessarily the decree).
- Cost: $102 in cash (or ~$105.29 with credit/debit). Checks generally not accepted.
- After payment and verification, you leave with your legal Marriage License — ready for your ceremony.
Bring Your License to A Stained Glass Wedding Chapel

- Our officiant will perform your legal ceremony and file your marriage certificate within 10 calendar days.
- Our chapel ensures everything is submitted correctly and on time, so you can focus on celebrating.
Step 4:
After the Ceremony – Order Your Certified Marriage License Copy
