Certified Translation Services in Las Vegas, NV
Clark County issues more marriage licences than any other county in the United States, and a large share of those marriages involve at least one non-US party. That produces a document need almost unique to this city: a Nevada marriage certificate that has to be recognised by a foreign government.
The sequence for that is specific, and getting it wrong is the most common problem we see from Las Vegas.

Getting a Clark County marriage recognised abroad
The certificate comes from the Clark County Recorder — not from the chapel, and not from the Marriage License Bureau, which issues the licence rather than the certificate of the completed marriage. That distinction alone accounts for a lot of confusion.
Once you have the certified copy from the Recorder, the Nevada Secretary of State issues the apostille. The apostilled document is then translated into the destination language, complete with the apostille certificate itself.
If the destination country is not party to the Hague Convention, the route is consular legalisation through that country's embassy instead.
The Eighth Judicial District Court receives translated evidence in Clark County matters, and the Las Vegas USCIS field office and immigration court serve the region.

Do it in the right order
Certified copy from the Clark County Recorder, then apostille from the Nevada Secretary of State, then translation of the complete apostilled document.
Translating first is the expensive mistake: the apostille attaches to the original certificate, and a receiving authority generally wants to read the apostille as well as the certificate. Apostille handling through us is $195 and takes about five business days.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular
Where do I get the marriage certificate itself?
The Clark County Recorder. The Marriage License Bureau issues the licence, not the certificate of the completed marriage.
Should I translate before or after the apostille?
After. The apostille attaches to the original certificate and the complete package is then translated.
Who issues Nevada apostilles?
The Nevada Secretary of State, from Carson City and Las Vegas.
What if the destination country is not in the Hague Convention?
Consular legalisation through that country's embassy is needed instead of an apostille.
