Online Marriage Certificate: Is It Valid Internationally?
One of the most common questions we get is about the validity of an online marriage certificate globally. In many countries, your certificate is recognized once it’s properly apostilled. Learn more or start your process by visiting the Apostille Service or complete the Apostille Questionnaire to make sure your paperwork is ready for international use.
