Well if you decide to go to Las Vegas: Requirements for U.S. citizens and Non U.S. citizens are the same. The license is valid for 1 year from the date it is issued. It may be used anywhere within the State of Nevada.

Here's what you need to know and what documents to bring with you before you apply for a Nevada marriage license. We recommend getting this legal aspect of your wedding out of the way about a month before your wedding date.

Congratulations and much happiness as you begin your lifetime journey together!

Requirements may vary as each county in Nevada could have their own requirements.

ID Requirement:
Valid picture identification. Acceptable identification includes valid Driver's License, valid Identification Card from DMV, valid Passport, Resident Alien card, Military ID, or Certified or original Birth Certificate.
If a foreign birth certificate, it must be translated into English and notarized. You need to know your social security number, too!

Residency Requirement :
You do not have to be a resident of Nevada.


Previous Marriages:
Your divorce must be final. You need to know the date (month, year) of your divorce, and the location (city and state) where you were divorced.
Covenant Marriage Option: No.
Waiting Period in Nevada: There is no waiting period to get married in Nevada.
Fees in Nevada:
You will have to pay $35.00 - $65.00 (depends on County) to get married in Nevada - cash only. Some counties may accept a local check.

Other Tests: No blood tests.
Proxy Marriages:
No. Both parties must be present.

Cousin Marriages:

Under 18:
If you are 16 or 17 years old, you must have one parent or legal guardian present. A notarized written permission is also acceptable. It must be written in English and needs to state the name, birth date, age of the minor child, along with the relationship of the person giving consent. The notary must note that the parent or guardian personally appeared before or was subscribed and sworn to. If you are under 16, marriage can be authorized only by court order when the request has been filed by either parent or legal guardian.

Renewing Your Vows:
No. The clerk's office is prohibited from issuing a new Marriage License to couples currently married. You may renew your wedding vows at a church or wedding chapel, but they may require you to bring a copy of your Marriage Certificate for proof of marriage before performing the renewal ceremony.

I know what you need to do if you want to get married in Las Vegas. First, visit this website... http://www.co.clark.nv.us/clerk/marriage_information.htm
That website has all of the up-to-date info on getting married in Las Vegas as well as the address for obtaining a marriage license.

As for any other country, it depends on which country. Some are easier than others. I know that if you want to get married in Brazil, you might want to plan well in advance.

As far as making sure your marriage is legally recognized in Canada, make sure you check with the local officials to determine what documents you may need to make it official, i.e. apostilles, etc.

Good luck!!!

Kim phone your provincial attorney general. Ignorance of the law is no defence therefor they have a duty to inform you about the law.
