How To Apostille Marriage Certifcate from MI? 

 

Your marriage certificate is from MI. 

For your adoption, you need 2 originals apostilled. 

You would have to contact the County which issued your marriage certificate and get 4 certified copies all together. 2 of these 4 are for your dossier. 

Since they’re issued by the state, they do NOT need to be notarized. 

You will send them to MI Secretary of State for Apostille, along with the other documents.

How To Prepare Birth Certificates?

 

Your birth certificates DO NOT need to be apostilled.  

Earlier, in the “read me first”, I asked that you order 4 certified copies of your birth certificates.

That is the total number you’ll need for the entire adoption process.  

2 of them will be for the dossier.  

However, they do not need to be apostilled.  So when you send us the dossier, just include 2 of the 4 copies.  

How To Prepare Any Divorce Certificates?

 

For any divorces, the divorce certificates need to be presented with the adoption dossier. 

Only photocopies of these divorce certificates/degrees are required. 

No apostilles.  Just copies of each one.
