Rules for Marriage Certificate
Certified Document
You must submit an original certified copy issued by the Arkansas Division of Vital Records or a County Clerk's office. It must have the original signature of the State Registrar or County Clerk.
Notarization is REQUIRED (Critical Step)
This is Arkansas's key requirement. The certified marriage certificate must be notarized by an Arkansas Notary Public before you send it to the Secretary of State. The notary must affix their seal and complete their notarial certificate (e.g., "Acknowledgment" or "Certified Copy") in full. Rejection Cause: Sending the document without this notarization.
Complete Request Form
You must include a completed "Authentication Request Form" which acts as your cover sheet. This form is available on the Arkansas Secretary of State's website.
Pre-Paid Return Shipping
You must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with sufficient postage. The office recommends using a trackable mail service.
Correct Payment
Include the $10.00 per apostille/certification fee. Payment must be made by check or money order payable to "Arkansas Secretary of State." Cash and credit cards are not accepted for mail-in requests.
