Vital records in Nevada — birth certificates, death certificates, marriage licenses, and divorce records — can be obtained from County Recorder (local) / DHHS (state). Marriage licenses are issued by the County Clerk.
What this page covers: Nevada vital record ordering, eligibility requirements, and related databases. What it does not cover: Genealogy records older than the state vital records system (check the Genealogy Resources page for historical records).
Where to start: For certified copies of birth or death certificates, contact County Recorder (local) / DHHS (state). For marriage licenses, contact the County Clerk in the county where the ceremony will occur. For divorce records, contact the court that granted the decree.
Common mistake: Birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, and divorce decrees come from different offices. Do not assume one office handles all vital records.
