Apostille on a marriage certificate

For apostille endorsement, the following steps are required:

• Placement of an apostille on the original document.
• Translation of the document (apostille first, then translation, as the apostille is issued in the state language and also needs to be translated).
• Placement of a second apostille (to find out if you need a second apostille, you can check here).

IMPORTANT! An apostille on a marriage certificate is placed exclusively on the original. The apostille is attached to the original document and certified with a stamp. In case it is impossible to submit the original, we provide a service for obtaining a duplicate document, on which we will affix the apostille.

• absence of lamination;
• absence of significant damage to the document;
• absence of stamps and seals of other government agencies on the reverse side of the document;
