Marriage certificate translation for immigration procedures
Marriage certificates are frequently used as evidence of a family relationship in immigration, residence and citizenship procedures.
The authority may require additional documents such as birth certificates, identity documents, financial evidence or other family records.
Marriage certificate translation and apostille
Translation and apostille are separate requirements. An apostille authenticates certain public documents for international use, while translation makes the document understandable in the required language.
If the marriage certificate already contains an apostille, send the entire document so the apostille wording can be included in the translation where necessary.
