Your apostilled marriage certificate is shipped via USPS Priority Mail with tracking, or available for pickup in Atlanta.

Marriage Certificate Requirements

What You Need

County vs. State Certificates

Certificates issued by county clerks may need county authentication before state apostille (adds 3-5 days). State-issued certificates go directly to apostille. Call (770) 727-3618 to confirm requirements for your certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a certified copy of my marriage certificate?

Contact the vital records office in the state where you were married, or the county clerk if it was a county marriage. Most states offer online ordering. Costs typically range from $10-$30 per copy. Processing takes 1-3 weeks depending on the state.

Can I apostille a marriage certificate from another country?

No, apostilles can only be issued by the country that created the document. If you were married abroad and need it authenticated for US use, contact the embassy of that country. For US marriages being used abroad, we can apostille them.

Do both spouses need to be present for apostille service?

No, either spouse can submit the marriage certificate for apostille. The document itself contains both names and does not require additional authorization from either party.

How long is an apostilled marriage certificate valid?

Apostilles don't expire, but many countries require documents to be recently issued (within 3-6 months). Check with your destination country's embassy or consulate for their specific requirements.

What if my marriage certificate has a county seal instead of state seal?

County-issued certificates may require county clerk authentication before being sent to the Secretary of State for apostille. This adds 3-5 business days to processing. We handle both steps for you - just send us your certificate.
