Technically speaking, no, as this does not comport with Canon Law. However, there have been instances of nuns "unofficially" officiating at weddings "under the radar" so to speak.

Roman Catholic Answer

No, marriage is a sacrament, and the nuptial blessing can only be imparted by a clergyman: Bishop, Priest, or Deacon.

At what expense to membership can Catholics get a civil license to officiate at weddings?

Your question does not come across very clear. Specifically, what type of group are you inquiring about in regards to membership? Catholics do not observe or respect civil marriage decisions and no Catholic would officiate a civil marriage because they believe that only a priest can officiate a marriage. A Catholic who wishes to act as a civil official would only be able to perform marriages between non-baptized persons, which would be too impractical a stipulation in order to keep such a job successfully.
