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

Rules for Marriage Certificate

  • Certified Document

    You must submit an original certified copy issued by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (Bureau of Vital Records) or a Recorder of Deeds office in the county where the license was issued. It must have the original signature of the State Registrar or County Recorder.

  • Notarization is REQUIRED (Critical Step)

    This is Missouri's key requirement. The certified marriage certificate must be notarized by a Missouri 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 "Apostille/Authentication Request Form" which acts as your cover sheet. This form is available on the Missouri Secretary of State's website and is mandatory.

  • Correct Payment

    Include a $10.00 per apostille fee. Payment must be made by check or money order payable to "Missouri Secretary of State." Cash is not accepted for mail-in requests.

  • 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.
