Explore more about Immigration Support if you’ll need marriage paperwork for visas or green cards.

The Importance of Apostille and Document Translation for Global Marriages

If you’re planning to use your online marriage certificate overseas, you’ll probably need an apostille to make it legally recognized abroad. Our Apostille Service ensures your documents are correctly validated for international use. For non-English speaking countries, head over to Certified Translations to get your marriage documents translated accurately and quickly.

Online Marriage and Immigration: What You Should Know

Many of our clients use their virtual marriage to start their journey with the immigration process – whether that means uniting in the U.S. or another country. The online marriage certificate provided is accepted by USCIS and many global immigration authorities, but always check with your immigration lawyer or official sources like USCIS for the latest guidelines.
