[NV] [NV] Can I create an affidavit of spiritual marriage?
In Nevada, a "spiritual marriage" ceremony, which is a non-religious but spiritual wedding, can be performed by a licensed, ordained, or appointed minister, or other church or religious official authorized to solemnize a marriage, provided they obtain a certificate of permission to perform marriages (NV Rev Stat § 122.062(1)).
Under state law, a "spiritual marriage" is not legally recognized unless it meets the requirements for a valid marriage under state law, which include obtaining a marriage license and having a ceremony officiated by a licensed officiant (NV Rev Stat § 122.040).
