Marriage apostille

Why a Single Status Apostille Matters for Your Destination Wedding

May 1, 2019 By Atlanta Apostille

Are you planning on getting married in another country? If this country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, you will be asked to obtain documentation stating that you are currently not married, and to apostille said document.

There are three ways to obtain this kind of documentation depending on where you currently reside:

  1. Contact your local County Clerk’s office and request what may be referred to as a Single Status document, or a “No Record of Marriage” document. All County Clerk offices should be able to provide a Single Status document, since it does not require notarization.
  2. If you are in the United States, we would be happy to assist you by preparing a Single Status affidavit. We would write, sign, and notarize a sworn statement that shows that you currently are not married to anyone residing within the United States.
  3. If you are currently outside of the United States, reach out to your local U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate office. They can assist you in the process of acquiring a Single Status document, as well as having it signed, notarized, and then processed by our Washington D.C. apostille office.

For any assistance in preparing a Single Status affidavit for those residing in the United States, our staff is available to answer all of your questions and provide you with step-by-step assistance. We are available Monday to Sunday, from 8AM to 11pm EST. Do not hesitate to call us at 404-323-4211, or e-mail [email protected].

Obtaining an apostille can be time-consuming, confusing, and a complete disaster if left into the hands of untrained non-professionals. Make sure you are trusting your important documentation essential for your big day to those who fully understand the expedited apostille process and all of the certifications and unique requirements of each and every country. Don’t waste another second of your time and contact our friendly staff at Atlanta Apostille today!

How to: Certify Documents for Eastern European Wedding

September 16, 2013 By Atlanta Apostille

Eastern European WeddingWith destination weddings in Prague and Vienna becoming increasingly more popular, it is important to familiarize yourself with the laws of Austria and the Czech Republic well before the wedding date. Be aware that both countries require you and your future spouse to submit various documents two to four weeks in advance.  These documents include passports, birth certificates, drivers’ licenses, proof of residence, and proof of marital status (such as divorce or death certificates for previous marriages).

Your documents must receive an apostille stamp in America, and they need to be translated into the respective country’s local language.  The translations must also be certified, which is usually done in the country in which the wedding will take place. Normally you have to submit your documents and marriage application in person to the appropriate government offices (such as the town hall in Prague or the Office of Vital Statistics in Vienna) at least two weeks before the wedding. For this reason it is advised that either you or your spouse arrive in the city two weeks prior to the wedding.

Each government embassy charges different fees for these procedures, which you can verify either by phone or on the appropriate embassy’s website.
