Apostille

We can assist you in getting your marriage certificate legalized, which is a common requirement for international couples who need to present their certificate for official use outside Denmark. While it’s up to you whether or not to proceed, we highly recommend it.

Public documents, like marriage certificates, often need to be legalized or endorsed with an apostille when used abroad. Many foreign authorities require this legalization to confirm that the signature on the document is genuine, which is done by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This authentication comes in the form of a stamp, either ordinary or apostille, providing the document with legal force abroad.

Without this legalization, your marriage certificate may not be legally recognized in your home country. It’s important to note that legalization only confirms the signature’s authenticity, not the document’s content. Additionally, many foreign authorities also require the document to be translated by an authorized translator into the local language.
