Getting married in Las Vegas for Italian citizens (Trascrizione in Comune & Apostille)
100% Legally Valid in Italy (DPR 396/2000) — An official Clark County marriage is fully recognized under Italian law. Once Apostilled and translated into Italian, you register (trascrizione) the marriage at your Italian Comune (or via the Los Angeles Italian Consulate if registered in AIRE).
Required identification
Valid Italian Passports (Passaporto Italiano in corso di validità, 18+) + ESTA. Zero pubblicazioni di matrimonio or nulla osta required in Las Vegas!
Do you need an Apostille?
YES — Mandatory! Italian Stato Civile offices require BOTH the Certified Marriage Certificate AND the Nevada Hague Apostille, plus a faithful Italian translation (either sworn/asseverata in Tribunale in Italy or certified via the Consulate).
Home registry & surname rules
Residents in Italy can bring the Certified Certificate + Nevada Apostille home, complete an asseverazione (sworn translation at an Italian Tribunale / Giudice di Pace), and file directly at their Comune’s Ufficio di Stato Civile (often faster than consular mail!).

How to marry legally in Las Vegas (Italy)
1. Pre-apply on the Clark County Clerk .gov portal using exact Italian Passport birth names
Under Italian law women retain their birth surname on civil records — enter exact passport names.
2. Pick up $102 USD License at 201 E. Clark Ave & celebrate legal vows

Both the Marriage Certificate and the Apostille page must be translated into Italian for your Comune.
Pro tips before you book flights
- Want Separate Property (Separazione dei Beni) in Italy? Because Nevada does not print Italian marital property elections on the certificate, declare Separazione dei Beni via an Italian Notaio once transcribing in Italy.
- Cash gratuities in USD: Bring $80–$150 USD in $20 bills to your chapel check-in — many Las Vegas chapels collect minister donations ($50–$100) and limo driver tips ($30–$50) in cash separately from your credit-card package price.
