Wedding Bells Are In The Air All Over The World

Are you planning to get married in another country? Congratulations! Planning for a wedding in your own country requires a lot of coordination, but doing it in another country adds some additional required paperwork (legalization/authentication) required. There are some typical documents that the country of destination will request, but they can vary, so it’s important to get the specific details for your wedding in order to efficiently plan ahead. Some of the most common documents required can be a Single Status Affidavit, birth certificate, proof of residency, but there are others. The most important thing is to NOT wait until the last minute to start the apostille process. State documents can typically be turned around by the Secretary of State between a week to a few weeks, but If Federal reports are needed (FBI Background), the turnaround time can be a few weeks plus. Making sure you have the correct versions of your (vital statistic) documents is crucial as well, so be sure to order new vital record documents from vitalchek before submitting them to obtain the apostilles. If you’re not sure if you have the right versions, Florida Notary Public, LLC can help determine that. Florida Notary Public, LLC can help get everything organized and correctly submitted to avoid rejections of requests for apostilles to any state or the federal government.
