The apostille office is in Carson City
The Nevada Secretary of State, which issues the state’s apostilles, has its main office at 101 N. Carson Street, Suite 3, Carson City, NV 89701. For someone in Carson City that means the authority that authenticates Nevada documents for use abroad is in your own city, and a request does not have to travel far.
NRS 240.1657 sets the fee at $20 per authentication. The same statute says the Secretary of State will not authenticate a document that was not notarized in accordance with Nevada’s notary law, and that each request must include a signed statement, under penalty of perjury, that the document will not be used to harass anyone or for an unlawful purpose.
Before you go to the counter, read the Secretary of State’s apostille pages for the current request form, expedite options and any appointment rule.
If the document being apostilled is a notarized translation, we hire a notary commissioned in Nevada to notarize the translator’s statement. We also help with the apostille request itself.
State vital records are issued in Carson City too
Nevada’s Office of Vital Records is also in Carson City. It issues certified birth and death certificates for the whole state.

Carson City marriage records and the courts
Marriage and divorce records in Nevada are kept at the county level. Carson City’s Clerk-Recorder issues marriage licenses: both parties appear together at the courthouse, and the office takes appointments at (775) 887-2084. The city’s marriage page lists a $100 total fee that includes a $15 certified copy.
The First Judicial District Court sits at 885 East Musser Street, 3rd Floor, Carson City, NV 89701, phone (775) 887-2082. Divorce decree copies come from the court’s clerk. For federal matters, the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada has courthouses in Reno and Las Vegas.
A Nevada notary cannot make a certified copy of a birth, death or marriage certificate or a divorce decree (NRS 240.075), so get the certified copy from the issuing office first and then have it translated.
Court interpreters are credentialed here, translators are not
The Supreme Court of Nevada’s Administrative Office of the Courts runs the Certified Court Interpreter Program, created in 2002 under NRS 1.510. It credentials Certified and Registered court interpreters for spoken proceedings. Its FAQ states that the program does not cover written translation.
Nevada therefore has no court-issued license for document translators. What most offices ask for is a complete translation with a signed statement from the translator, which is what our certificate of accuracy provides.
DMV headquarters and its translator list
The Nevada DMV, whose forms carry the address 555 Wright Way, Carson City, NV 89711, accepts foreign-language documents only when translated by a DMV-approved translator. The translation must show the translator’s DMV-issued number, printed name, signature and completion date.
For a license, ID or Driver Authorization Card, pick a translator from the DMV’s published list. Ask us first if your translation is for the DMV.
