Rules for Marriage Certificate
Certified Document
You must submit an original certified copy issued by the Arizona County Clerk's Office or the Arizona Department of Health Services (Vital Records). It must have the original signature of the issuing official and a raised or stamped seal.
County Clerk Certification (Critical Step)
Before sending it to the state, the certified marriage certificate must be taken to the County Clerk's Office in the same county where it was issued. The County Clerk must execute a "Clerk's Certificate" (a specific notarial certificate) to verify the signature of the official who signed the marriage certificate. This certificate is attached to the document.
Complete Cover Sheet
You must include a completed "Apostille/Certificate of Authentication Cover Sheet" or use the Arizona Secretary of State's online portal to generate one. This form is mandatory and provides your return information.
Correct Payment
Include the $3.00 per apostille fee. Payment can be made by check, money order, or credit card authorization form (if using the paper method). Make checks payable to "Arizona Secretary of State."
Pre-Paid Return Shipping
You must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with sufficient postage for the return of your documents. Using a trackable service like USPS Priority Mail is highly recommended.
