Las Vegas weddings are pretty popular these days, thanks to the not-so-picky laws of Nevada. However, you will still need to get a marriage license, so here´s how to do that.

A new law requires anyone interested in a Las Vegas wedding to present identification as of January 1, 2008 in order to receive your marriage license. The ID can be a driver´s license, passport, military ID card, a state-issued ID card, and Temporary Resident cards, or Certificate of Citizenship, Naturalization or Permanent Resident. You can also use a birth certificate if you have a secondary piece of identification that shows your name.

All couples must be one male and one female, there are no homosexual marriage licenses issued at this time. In addition, both parties have to be at least 18 years old and be able to prove their age, or they may not receive a marriage license. Minors need to have parental consent in order to be married.

Another important point, you will need your Social Security number in order to have a Las Vegas Wedding. Non-US residents obviously don´t need this. Once your marriage license is issued, you are free to have a Las Vegas wedding, within minutes if you want. There is no waiting period and no blood tests required.
