Apostille for Marriage Certificates

An apostille is required to e your UK marriage certificate for use in countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention. This ensures your certificate is recognized by foreign governments, embassies, and legal institutions.

We provide a complete service to secure an official apostille for UK marriage certificates, making them valid overseas. Certificates issued in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are all covered.

Important notice

The UK Government in England is the sole authority that issues apostilles; there are no issuing bodies in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.

Certificate requirements

• The original marriage certificate or an official copy issued by a UK register office.
• Usually printed on green or red security paper.

Photocopies, including those certified by a solicitor or Notary Public, are not eligible for apostille certification. The document must be an authentic registrar-issued certificate.

Certificates we cannot process

We are unable to assist with marriage certificates that were issued outside the United Kingdom.
