Nevada Officiant Government Registration Requirements

What are the Wedding Officiant Registration Requirements in Nevada?

The Nevada Revised Statutes § 122.062 requires that all wedding officiants in Nevada are required to register with the County Clerk in the county where the wedding is to take place.

On top of this each county has two registration pathways, one for a temporary status and one for a permanent status to officiate weddings. Needless to say, this can get quite confusing for someone not acquainted with the nuances of officiant registration in Nevada. Luckily, we are here to guide you through the process.

All officiants in Nevada must be individually certified by the local County Clerk. In some places such as Las Vegas, this process can take more than a month. Also, successful registration with the Clerk only allows you to officiate a wedding in that County. If you plan on officiating a wedding in another County, you will have to register with them as well.

Our advice is, Don't Procrastinate! We recommend that you apply well in advance of the wedding date.
