Texas Marriage Certificate Apostille Services

Obtain an Apostille for Your Texas Marriage Certificate

If you plan to use your Texas marriage certificate in another country, you may need an apostille. An apostille certifies the authenticity of a public document so it can be legally recognized in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.

ATC Apostille helps individuals and families obtain apostilles for Texas marriage certificates quickly and efficiently. Whether your document is needed for immigration, dual citizenship, residency, international marriage registration, or legal proceedings abroad, we can help guide you through the process.

What Is a Marriage Certificate Apostille?

A marriage certificate apostille is a certificate issued by the Texas Secretary of State that verifies the authenticity of the signature and seal appearing on a certified Texas marriage certificate.

The apostille does not validate the contents of the marriage certificate. Instead, it confirms that the document was issued by an authorized government official.
