Mesquite is located in Clark County (Same as Las Vegas), so marriage licenses are handled through the Clark County Marriage License Bureau. Once you have your license, you can choose the ceremony, location, and officiant that fit you as a couple. Whether you're planning a traditional wedding, a simple elopement, a vow renewal, or something completely off the beaten path, Mesquite gives you plenty of options to make your ceremony your own.
Planning to say "I do" somewhere outside the usual wedding venues? Public lands, including national and state parks, city parks, BLM land, and national forests, may require a permit for wedding ceremonies. Private properties, such as golf courses, hotel gazebos, and other business locations, may also require advance approval. Check with the property owner or managing agency before finalizing your plans.
Once you apply for the marriage license, you have 1 year to pick it up. Both parties must be together (with ID) when picking up. You can pick up your marriage license in Las Vegas, or here at the Mesquite Clerk's office. Note Mesquite Clerk's office is only open Wednesday and Thursday from 8:00am to 4:30pm and closed noon - 1:00pm and all legal holidays.
Be sure to double check all information on your Marriage License! All information must be correct. Any errors and we can't perform the ceremony!
Mesquite is located in Clark County, so the same marriage rules and requirements that apply in Las Vegas also apply in Mesquite. For official information about marriage licenses, officiants, and other wedding requirements, visit the Clark County Clerk’s wedding website.
