Getting an Apostille for Marriage Certificate
How To Get an Apostille for Your Marriage Certificate?
Your marriage certificate is from NC
Therefore it has to go NC Secretary of State for Apostille – together with all the other docs.
For your adoption, you need 2 apostilled marriage certificates.
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 the Secretary of State for Apostille.
What To Do With Birth Certificates?
Good news! Your birth certificates DO NOT need to be apostilled.
They still need to be included in your dossier, just don’t need an apostille. Please include 2 certified originals in each set of your dossier. (Your dossier is in 2 sets).
What About 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.
