Las Vegas (Clark County) Wedding Officiant Registration

Love is Landing in Las Vegas! 

Get ready to say "I do" because February 2026 is officially turning Sin City into Win City for lovers! With Valentine’s Day falling on a Saturday this year, the Wedding Capital of the World™ is rolling out the red carpet for an epic month of nuptials. To keep things stress-free and fabulous, Clark County is bringing back the famous pop-up Marriage License Bureau right inside Harry Reid International Airport! From February 4th through the 16th, you can hop off the plane and grab your license at Terminal 1 baggage claim before your luggage even hits the carousel. Whether you're aiming for a "magic date" like 2/6/26 or 2/26/26, or feeling a little rebellious with a Friday the 13th wedding, Vegas is making it easier than ever to make it official.

Fast Tracks and Forever Memories 

Why wait in line when you can get straight to the cake? The airport pop-up is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., accepting credit and debit cards for both new licenses and vow renewal certificates. If you miss the airport booth, don't worry because the main bureau downtown is still open until midnight, 365 days a year. From kitschy chapel elopements to high-end luxury resort galas, Vegas handles every vibe and budget with that signature neon glow. As Clerk Lynn Marie Goya puts it, love is truly in the air, so grab your sweetheart, fly into LAS, and find out why five million couples have already chosen Vegas for their "happily ever after."
