How to Find Marriage Records in Nevada
Marriage Records in Nevada
Marriage records contain basic information about the married couple and
their marriage. This information includes the names of the two
individuals, the date of the marriage, and the place of marriage. Some
marriage records will also include the names of the parents of the
couple. Additionally, some records contain the names of the official
witnesses to the marriage. Some governmental marriage records contain
the maiden names of the mothers as well as the place of residence of the
married couple.
A marriage record should not be confused with any of the following
documents: a marriage license, a marriage announcement, or a marriage
index. The marriage license is the legal document that was issued to the
couple that was married. The marriage announcement is the public listing
of the wedding, in most cases, in a published newspaper.
A marriage index is simply a list of the marriages within a specific
location, usually an entire state. Typically, such an index includes the
names of the bride and groom, the date of the marriage, the name of the
county in which the marriage occurred, and either the file number of the
license or the volume and page name for a register listing as well as
the location of the marriage record.
In Nevada, marriage records must be obtained from the county courthouse
office. It is necessary to contact the County Recorder at the local
county courthouse where the records are kept. For the cost of certified
copies of vital documents and the record lookup fees, call 775-684-4242.
For a successful search for the marriage records that you are trying to
locate, follow these steps:
1. Print or type each name and address clearly to avoid confusion. This
includes the full name of both the husband and the wife. The maiden name
should be included for the wife. Include nicknames and alternate
spellings that may have been used, but list them as such.
2. Keep your request brief and to the point.
3. Limit your request to one marriage record.
4. Include the full address of the individuals at the time of the
marriage, including street, city or town, and state. If you know the
county in which the marriage took place, include that as well.
5. Include the date that the marriage occurred. If you do not know the
date, include a time frame for the search. Generally, it is best to
specify a short span of years for an unknown year search. You can always
expand the number of years that you search, and a shorter span will lead
to a shorter search. You can expect to pay an additional fee for
searches such as this that require more effort.
6. Include contact information where you can be reached in the event
that more information is required. Include a telephone number, fax
number, or an e-mail address.
7. Include your relationship to the individuals listed in your search
request.
8. Include the reason for your request.
9. Print your name clearly and sign your request. Some states may also
require additional identifying information on you as well. Therefore,
you may want to include your driver�s license number.
10. Include a SASE, or self addressed stamped envelope with your request
for a speedier delivery.
11. Include the date that you mail your request with your
correspondence.
To obtain a copy of a marriage record, contact the County Recorder in
the specific county office where the marriage license was issued.
Remember to provide as much accurate information as available on the
subject of the search, sufficient contact information for yourself, and
the required fee. Providing the necessary information and the fee will
speed the process up considerably.
