Marriage Certificate Apostille - New York City

You can visit any of the 5 Marriage Bureaus in each New York City borough (Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island) to order and pick up your Marriage Certificate. However, if you need an apostille or foreign embassy legalization, you must obtain an extended certified copy of the marriage certificate. 

This extended form contains additional information such as parents' names, witnesses, and previous marriages.

We offer 1 business day apostille for marriage certificates issued in New York City. 

The New York City-issued Marriage Certificate needs to be authenticated by the County Clerk before you submit it for an apostille or certificate of authentication. The marriage certificate should have the City Clerk's wet signature, an embossed seal, and a certification stamp at the back. If applying for authentication by mail, please note that it usually takes three to four  weeks to process. Presenting the documents in person with the correct form results in immediate processing.

The final step is the issuance of the marriage certificate apostille or certificate of authentication by the New York State Department of State. Suppose you require assistance obtaining an extended copy of the marriage certificate or need marriage certificate apostille services issued in New York state.
