Marriage Certificate Apostille.
We retrieve, compliance-check, and apostille Pennsylvania marriage certificates for use abroad — including same-day pulls from Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, and Chester County. All 50 states accepted.
Three Professional Pathways
Drop off or mail in your record, have us obtain it from any Pennsylvania county on your behalf, or send a certified copy from any of the 50 U.S. states.
Drop Off Or Mail In Your Record
Drop off your certified marriage certificate at our Philadelphia office by appointment, or mail it to us from anywhere in the U.S. or internationally. We compliance-check it, file with the PA Secretary of State, and return the apostilled original.
Schedule drop off or mail in
Book a quick appointment to drop off in Chestnut Hill, or ship via USPS/FedEx/DHL — we accept domestic and international mail-ins.
Compliance review
We verify the certificate is a true certified copy from the Register of Wills / Clerk of Orphans' Court, with original signature and county seal.
Pennsylvania apostille
Hand-delivered to Harrisburg — 2 to 4 business days for the apostille to be affixed by the PA Department of State.
Translation (if required)
Optional certified Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French, German, or other language translation for the destination country.
Pickup or shipping
Pick up at our office, domestic FedEx, or international DHL/FedEx with full tracking door-to-door.

How to obtain your Pennsylvania marriage certificate with us.
Two pieces fit together: the certified copy must meet PA Department of State requirements, and it has to come from the county where the license was originally issued. Pick a county to see exactly what we’ll pull and what it costs.
Philadelphia County
Request an exemplified marriage record from the Register of Wills at City Hall Room 415 (in person or by mail). Specify that you need an exemplified copy for apostille / international use — or skip the trip and we can obtain it for you on your behalf.
