Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Colorado Marriage Certificate Apostille Process

Rules for Marriage Certificate

  • Certified Document

    You must submit an original certified copy issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (Vital Records) or a County Clerk & Recorder's office. It must have the original signature of the State Registrar or County Clerk.

  • Notarization is REQUIRED (Critical Step)

    This is Colorado's key requirement. The certified marriage certificate must be notarized by a Colorado Notary Public before you send it to the Secretary of State. The notary must affix their seal and complete their notarial certificate. Rejection Cause: Sending the document without this notarization. The state apostilles the notary's signature, not the vital records official's signature directly.

  • Complete Cover Sheet

    You must include a completed "Authentication/Apostille Request Form" which acts as your cover sheet. This form is available on the Colorado Secretary of State's website and is mandatory.

  • Correct Payment

    Include a $20.00 per apostille fee, plus a $1.00 processing fee per document (total $21.00 per document). Payment must be made by check or money order payable to "Colorado Secretary of State."

  • Pre-Paid Return Shipping

    You must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with sufficient postage. Using a trackable service like USPS Priority Mail is highly recommended.
