Marriage Certificate Apostille, Authentication and Legalization

Your marriage license, marriage certificates, or marriage record are issued various multiple agencies within New York, and it can be difficult to track down where to go.  Notary New York will ensure you have the correct document, stamps and signatures in order to proceed with the official apostille, authentication or legalization certificate.

A marriage license can be issued in any town or city in the State of New York, but except for marriage licenses obtained in the City of New York, records of your marriage are issued by the New York State Department of Health.   For those who had a marriage license issued in New York City, records of the marriage are issued from the Office of the City Clerk.

Without the client’s need to travel to Albany or downtown Manhattan,  New York Notary brings to you the convenience to obtain an apostille on your birth certificate document.

We will travel to the appropriate government facility on your behalf, and complete any and all applications, pay the authentication and apostille fee, and ensure everything is properly completed.

Additionally, depending on the country of destination, the process of legalizing your document may entail securing authentication from the consulate.

Our Apostille, Authentication and Legalization services will manage all aspects of what is needed to ensure your document is properly legalized.

Is your New York Marriage Certificate Valid International?

For Marriage Certificates issued in New York, both inside and outside the city of New York, there are some specific requirements before the document can be used internationally.   More often than not, the Marriage Certificates most of our clients have are not suitable to be used outside of the US, requiring a new certificate to be issued.

Please Carefully Examine Your Document to see if it can be used internationally. If you are not sure, you can send us a copy or scan and we can let you know.

Step 1. Obtaining a Suitable Marriage Certificate Record for International Use

For New Yorkers married outside of New York City, all marriage certificates certified copies are used  by the New York State Department of Health.   For those married within the NYC, birth certificates certified copies are issued by the New York City Office of the City Clerk.   Both of these agencies issue multiple kinds of certificates and have different procedures.   Many marriage certificates issued are NOT valid for international use.   We can help you save time and money getting to correct type of certificate you need for international purposes.
 
Outside of New York City, the “priority” process takes one to four weeks, depending on your circumstances (otherwise as long as three months for “regular” service).    “Regular” service can take as long as 3 months, which we do not recommend for this reason.   If the marriage certificate you currently have is not suitable for international use, this is the first step in the process.
 
If you were married inside New York City, we can generally help you obtain a marriage certificate suitable International use can be obtained in one or two days.

Step 2. Getting your Suitable Marriage Certificate Record ready

Once a marriage certificate record suitable for International use has been issued, we generally can complete the process in as little as one day, depending on the country where you need to use it.   Please see our Apostille, Authentication, and Legalization page for more details.
