Analysis

In recent years Nevada enacted a law permitting Notaries to perform marriage ceremonies. The qualification of such Notaries to perform marriages is done by the county clerks throughout Nevada. Assembly Bill 482 requires a Notary wanting to apply to perform marriage ceremonies to take a course and pay the fee for the course, if the county clerk offers one. In addition, the bill also authorizes the county clerk to charge the Notary $5 for issuing a certificate of permission to perform marriages or a specific marriage.
