It means to conduct the wedding ceremony. The clerk, and often the license, will indicate who is authorized to perform the ceremony. Once completed, it is signed by the witnesses, the married couple and the officiant and sent back to the court.

If one never returns marriage certificate to the circuit court in Nevada after the ceremony is the marriage legal?
No, the marriage license has to be solemnized. Within 90 days after the marriage ceremony, the person solemnizing the marriage must complete the marriage certificate issued with the marriage license and return it to the office of the issuing Recorder.

However, two witnesses can submit an affidavit that the marriage ceremony took place if the certificate is lost or destroyed and the person who solemnized the marriage is unavailable.

Yes. You do not need to be a California resident to marry in California. To apply for a marriage license, both parties must appear in person and bring valid photo ID such as a drivers license, passport, state issued ID, etc. to the County Clerk's Office. Some counties may also require a copy of your birth certificate. If you have been married before, you will need to know the specific date your last marriage ended, and how it ended (Death, Dissolution, Divorce or Nullity). Some counties may require a copy of the final judgment if your previous marriage ended by dissolution or nullity. Marriage licenses are valid for 90 days from the date of issuance. If you do not get married within 90 days, the license will no longer be valid. You must purchase a new license. The person solemnizing the marriage must return the original marriage license to the County Clerk or County Recorder as applicable within 10 days of the date of the ceremony. Best of luck!
