Nevada Marriage Records

Recording of vital records in Nevada has only occurred since 1911 and are only available from the counties in which the event took place and those records are sketchy, at best. After the year 1968, the recorder of the county in which the event took place can help you locate a record. You’ll need to provide the full names of the bride and grooms, an approximate date of the wedding and the city where you think the event occurred. You’ll also need to pay a $10 fee (payable by check or money order) for each person’s record you’re searching for. The fee isn’t refundable, even if they don’t find your record. Nevada marriage records can be searched by sending a request to:

Nevada State Health Division

Carson City, NV 89706-2009
