What Is a Marriage Certificate Apostille?

A marriage certificate apostille is an official certificate issued by the Texas Secretary of State that verifies the authenticity of your certified marriage certificate so it can be legally recognized in countries that participate in the Hague Apostille Convention.

An apostille does not validate the contents of your marriage certificate—it verifies the authenticity of the official signature and seal on the document.

When Do You Need a Marriage Certificate Apostille?

Many countries require an apostilled marriage certificate for legal or government purposes.

Common reasons include:

Applying for Dual Citizenship
Immigration Applications
Residency or Permanent Residence
Registering Your Marriage Overseas
International Name Changes
Spouse Visa Applications
Family Reunification
International Employment Benefits
International Banking or Property Transactions

If you're unsure whether your destination country requires an apostille or another type of authentication, we'll help you determine the correct process.

Which Marriage Certificates Can Be Apostilled?

To receive a Texas apostille, your marriage certificate must generally be:

A certified copy issued by the appropriate Texas county clerk or Texas Vital Statistics office
Complete and legible

If you don't already have a certified copy, we can guide you on how to obtain the correct document before beginning the apostille process.
