Alabama Marriage Certificate Apostille

If you need an Alabama-issued Marriage certificate recognized in another country, an apostille is required. This service ensures your document meets all state and international authentication requirements for use in a Hague Convention country. 

An apostille is required when it will be used in a foreign country so the receiving authority can verify its authenticity. 

• Request an Apostille copy from the Alabama Center for Health Statistic
• Submission to the Alabama Secretary of State
• Apostille issued for international use

If you request an Apostille copy from the Alabama Center for Health Statistics, it must be requested by mail, by telephone, or in person. These copies cannot be requested online or at the Alabama county health departments. 

Processing time varies based on state processing volume. Expedited facilitation options may be available. 

• Documents must be properly certified before submission
• Apostilles are only valid for use in Hague Convention member countries
• Non-Hague countries require a different authentication process
