Introduction​

​

Many countries require marriage certificates to be authenticated before they can be used internationally. An apostille verifies the authenticity of the document so it can be legally accepted in countries that participate in the Hague Apostille Convention.
Our apostille service helps coordinate the authentication of marriage certificates issued in the United States for use abroad.

When You Need an Apostille​

​

Common situations include:
• Immigration or visa applications
• Registering a marriage in another country
• Dual citizenship applications

​

Which Marriage Certificates Qualify​

​​

To receive an apostille, the marriage certificate must typically be:

• A certified copy issued by the state or county

Photocopies usually cannot be apostilled.
