5). Do we need a witness?
If you are doing a courthouse wedding, it’s only the two of you and/or you do not have a photographer – Yes, you need a witness. Depending on where you have your Elopement, one may be provided for you. If you have have a Civil Marriage at the courthouse, a witness will be provided.

6). What do we do with our Marriage License after we receive it? 
Bring it to your Ceremony! Do not forget it! I cannot stress this enough. Your officiant will do a run through with you when you meet and all the signing. After, they take your license with them and file it within 10 days of your ceremony. After the 10 days you can access the Clark County Recorder’s Office Website to order the proof of marriage. The license should be available a couple days after it has been recorded. 

• The Certified Copy of your Proof of Marriage is sent by mail via the US Post office. Domestic shipping usually takes 7-10 business days and up to 6-8 weeks for international. 
• You can also order your License in person at 200 Lewis Avenue 5th Floor Las Vegas, NV 89101
