Getting Married Abroad? Apostille Your Documents

A public guide to processing civil and supporting documents for marriage abroad without a country-by-country requirements matrix.

Which Documents Need an Apostille for Marriage Abroad

Marriage-abroad orders commonly include birth certificates, marriage-status records, prior-marriage records, identity documents, affidavits, and other civil documents. Submit the documents requested for your filing as separate items.

Apostilles.us processes U.S.-issued and foreign-issued documents through apostille, authentication, legalization, and certified translation services without publishing country-specific document mandates.

Country-Specific Marriage Requirements

Marriage-abroad document requests commonly involve birth certificates, prior-marriage records, identity documents, affidavits, and other civil records. This guide does not publish a country-by-country checklist, acceptance rule, or document-age matrix.

Select the documents you want processed and the destination. Apostilles.us handles apostille, authentication, legalization, and certified translation services.

Timeline for Marriage Document Apostilles

True Copy State processing tiers are displayed publicly. Available Original Document options appear during checkout. Federal Apostille processing is estimated at 6–14 business days without an expedited federal tier.

Inbound and return transit are separate from processing. Tracked return shipping is included in the order.

Translation and Additional Requirements

Certified translation can be added to an apostille, authentication, or legalization order. Select the language and documents you want translated.

Individual civil registries and receiving organizations control their filing requirements, so this page avoids country-specific guarantees or mandatory-document lists.
