Do you need to apostille a marriage license?
At USA Apostille, Inc., we take the guesswork out of obtaining an apostille on your marriage license. We can apostille marriage licenses issued from all 50 States and the District of Columbia (Washington DC).
The most popular states we can apostille marriage licenses are from California, Nevada, Texas, Florida, New York, and Illinois.
In order to apostille your license, you must mail in the original or a certified copy issued by the County Clerk or State Registrar to our office for processing. Marriage certificates can only be authenticated from the State of issue. The Secretary of State does not have the authority to authenticate documents issued from another State. For example, if your marriage certificate is from the State of Texas, the State of Texas is the only State that can issue the Texas apostille. Another example is if your marriage certificate is from New York, only the State of New York can issue the apostille.
Not every marriage certificate can qualify for an apostille. Some States have set time limits on how old a certificate can be. For example, marriage certificates issued from the State of Virginia must be issued within the past 12 months. We recommend that you mail in the certificate you currently have for review. If the State rejects your document, we will contact you with instructions.
Common reasons why another country would request an apostille on a marriage license are:
– Dual Citizenship
– Death of Spouse
– Interest & Ownership in Property
– Inheritance
– Moving to Another Country
– Working in Another Country
Note: Some countries will demand that you prove you are legally married if you intent to stay in their country for a specific length of time. These countries include Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Pakistan, and the UAE.
If you are outside of the US, please mail in your marriage certificate with our order forms for processing. Please call or email our office so we can email you the instructions, cost, and processing time.
