Hi Jan
I looked up the certifacte # for you, however, Clark Co. requires a photo ID and
relationship to parties on file.
Below is a copy of the info regarding how to obtain a copy of a certificate:
Marriage Certificates
Please be aware that Clark County Recorder's and Clerk's Office employees DO NOT
make any type of solicitation to purchase certified copies of marriage certificate(s).
This Office records the marriage certificate which is proof that a marriage ceremony was
performed in Clark County. The marriage official who performs the ceremony has ten days to
submit the marriage certificate to this office for recording. Normally a certified copy
of the certificate would be available one day after the certificate has been received from
the official.
Types of Certificates:
MARRIAGE ABSTRACT - A marriage abstract is a certified document that is used for most U.S.
agencies and some foreign countries.
CERTIFIED COPY - A certified copy of a marriage certificate is a copy of the original
certificate. This certificate may be needed for the Catholic Church, prison visitations,
adoptions and some foreign countries.
