Getting married is a beautiful and significant event in one's life. However, if you plan to use your marriage certificate outside of the United States, you will need an apostille on your marriage certificate to verify its authenticity. An apostille is a document authentication service that certifies the origin and authenticity of a document so that it is recognized and accepted in foreign countries. It is a certification provided by a government agency verifying the authenticity of a document's signature, seal, and content.

To obtain an apostille on your marriage certificate in the United States, you must first obtain a certified copy of your marriage certificate from the vital records office in the state where you were married. In Massachusetts, you can obtain a certified copy of your marriage certificate from the Registry of Vital Records and Statistics.

How To Apostille Marriage Certificate

Once you have a certified copy of your marriage certificate, you can submit it to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, which is the Massachusetts agency responsible for issuing apostilles. The Secretary of the Commonwealth will verify the authenticity of the marriage certificate and issue an apostille if it meets all the necessary requirements.

If you have an international marriage certificate, the process of obtaining an apostille can be more complex. You must first obtain an authenticated copy of your marriage certificate from the issuing authority in the country where you were married. Then, the document must be translated into English by a certified translator.

After that, you can submit the translated and authenticated copy of your marriage certificate to the Secretary of the Commonwealth for apostille authentication.
