At Just Married in Denmark, we recognize the importance of having your marriage certificate legally recognized abroad. To ensure your certificate is valid for international use, it often requires an Apostille stamp. Our Apostille Service ensures your marriage certificate is properly authenticated and delivered securely to your location, no matter where you are in the world. Below is a detailed overview of our Apostille Service, including certificate coordination, the Apostille process, and tracked worldwide delivery via DHL Express.

Coordinating your marriage certificate

After your wedding at the City Hall, we take full responsibility for coordinating the legalization process of your marriage certificate:

  • Collection of your marriage certificate: Once your ceremony is completed, the City Hall issues your official marriage certificate. To begin the Apostille process, you will need to send your marriage certificate to us at JMID’s address: Strandesplanaden 110, 2665 Vallensbæk, Denmark.

  • Document review: Once we receive the certificate, we carefully review it to ensure all the details are correct and ready for the Apostille process.

  • Preparation for Apostille: After the review, we prepare the certificate for submission to the Danish Foreign Affairs for the official Apostille stamp.

This step ensures that everything is in order and that your marriage certificate is properly prepared for international legalization.

Marriage certificate Apostille by Danish Foreign Affairs

An Apostille stamp confirms that your marriage certificate is legally valid for use in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. Here’s how we handle this critical step:

  • Apostille stamp: After we receive your marriage certificate, we obtain the Apostille stamp from Danish Foreign Affairs, authenticating your marriage certificate for international use.

  • Document transport: We personally deliver your document to Danish Foreign Affairs to obtain the required Apostille certification. Once processed, we send the apostilled certificate back to you via DHL Express (tracked delivery).

Important info

After you and your partner have been married at City Hall, you must send the marriage certificate to JMID’s address at Strandesplanaden 110, 2665 Vallensbæk, Denmark. Once we have received the document, we will go to Danish Foreign Affairs the following day to obtain the Apostille stamp and then send the document to your residential address via DHL Express.

  • What is an Apostille? An Apostille is a specialized certificate issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or other competent authorities, which verifies the authenticity of a document for international use.
