Clark County now accepting bank cards for marriage licenses, recording documents

Clark County customer service agents are now accepting major credit and debit cards to issue marriage licenses, record documents and provide copies of official documents in accordance with state law.

Previously, cash, cashier’s checks or money orders were required to record or purchase documents subject to recording. Cash was required to obtain a marriage license.

“This will make it more efficient to do business,” said Paul Harris, manager of recording, marriage licensing and vehicle licensing for the Clark County Auditor’s Office.

Harris said the county has contracted with a private vendor to provide electronic security for data and cardholder privacy.
