PAST MARRIAGE RECORDS Judith Vandever, the Clark County Recorder, has recently computerized historical marriage license information and put them on the internet. You can now look it up online. If you prefer the old fashioned way, write to the Courthouse, 309 South Third Street, 3rd floor, Las Vegas, Nevada 89155 (including self-addressed stamped envelope) and request certified copies of certificates for marriages performed in Clark County. Information needed: Names, year of marriage, and recorder book number. The fee is $5 per copy. If you do not know the year, an additional fee for searching is $1 per year, per name.

IF YOU'VE BEEN DIVORCED Your divorce must be final in the state where it was granted. The date of the final decree and the city and state are required.
