Marriage Certificate apostille in Florida
Marrying abroad, applying for a spousal visa, or claiming a foreign benefit? You'll likely need an apostilled marriage certificate. A Florida notary cannot copy-certify a marriage record — but we apostille the certified copy so it holds up in another country.
// the florida rule
Can a Florida notary certify a copy of a marriage certificate?
No — but here's what we can do.
No — a marriage certificate (and the related marriage license) is a vital/public record certified only by the clerk of court or vital-records office that issued it. A notary cannot attest to a copy of it. You get a certified copy from the issuing clerk, and we apostille that certified copy for international use.
// what we can do
We can't copy-certify a marriage certificate — but we apostille it for use abroad.
Need your marriage certificate recognized in another country?
An apostille is the only thing that makes a foreign government accept it. We handle the right authority — state or federal — track it end-to-end, and add a certified translation when the destination country needs one.

Marriage Certificate FAQ.
My spouse's home country wants our marriage certificate apostilled and translated.
That's a routine package for us: we apostille the certified marriage certificate through the Florida Secretary of State and add a certified translation (Spanish, Russian, or Ukrainian). One coordinated handoff so nothing gets rejected at the consulate.
We married in another state — can you still help?
Yes. An out-of-state marriage certificate is apostilled by that state's authority; we manage the submission and return mailing so you're not coordinating with an agency across the country.
