A Wedding Certificate is a Vital Document. When a couple gets married they obtain a Marriage License before receiving a Wedding Certificate in the mail. This Wedding Certificate contains vital information regarding both individuals uniting in holy matrimony, such as:

The names of both individuals

The date of the marriage ceremony

The location of the marriage ceremony

The country of origin of both individuals (some states) or even the parents (some states)

The witnesses

There are also some mandatory compliances regarding Marriage Licenses:

Both individuals must appear together and in person

A Marriage License is prepared at the same time as the application, the couple must wait 24 hours before marrying -- without a required Judicial Waiver

Previously married individuals will need to list their previous marriages on the application. Including the name of the former spouse, divorce particulars, the date of the divorce, and the location where the divorce document was issued.

Any divorce, dissolution, or annulment must be finalized.

A Certified Copy of a Wedding Certificate can only be issued once you are married. Furthermore, a Certified Copy of a Wedding Certificate is the only Marriage Certificate that is Apostilled or Legalized for foreign use. In addition, the Certified Copy of the Wedding Certificate usually has to be a recently issued document. The Apostille confirms that the signature of the official who certified the certificate is official.

Before a Wedding Certificate can be Apostilled, you must mail to our office for processing, a valid (recent) Certified Copy issued by the County and State levels of government. Wedding Certificates can only be Apostilled by the State who issued the certificate. In other words, the Secretary of State does not have the authority to Apostille a Wedding Certificate that was issued from another State. However, not every Wedding Certificate qualifies as a Certified Copy that can be Apostilled by the Secretary of State. For instance, some states have established time limits on how old a Certified Copy can be. Most States can Apostille a Wedding Certificate that is older than 5 years but in some states, the Wedding Certificate cannot be older than 12 months. Some countries like Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia will request to see your marriage. Therefore, we highly recommend that you.
