NRS 246.130 - Manner of filing certificates; conditional acceptance of certificate.


1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 246.120, if a board of county commissioners adopts an ordinance pursuant to NRS 246.100, the county clerk shall, upon the payment of the fees prescribed in NRS 246.180, file separately, in a manner which will allow a legible copy to be made, certificates of marriage.
2. Before accepting for filing any certificate of marriage, the county clerk shall require that a certificate of marriage be suitable for filing by a method used by the county clerk to preserve the county clerk’s records. If any rights may be adversely affected because of a delay in filing caused by this requirement, the county clerk shall accept the certificate of marriage conditionally subject to submission of a suitable certificate of marriage at a later date. Before accepting a certificate of marriage conditionally, the county clerk shall require the person who requests the filing to sign a statement that the person has been advised of the requirements described in this subsection and shall file the statement with the certificate of marriage.
