After your Las Vegas wedding ceremony, the officiant completes the marriage certificate and submits it to the Clark County Clerk’s Office for filing. This is what turns the ceremony record into official proof that the marriage was performed.
The marriage license gives you permission to get married. The completed and recorded marriage certificate is the document used as proof of marriage. After the certificate is filed and recorded, you can order certified copies for legal, personal, name-change, travel, or international document needs.
