Are you planning to use your important documents abroad for legal purposes? Whether it’s for a new job opportunity, immigration, or any other official matter, you may need an Apostille for your documents. This certification ensures that your document is recognized and valid in countries outside of your home country. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps of obtaining an Apostille for your documents, including translation and certification.
Step 1: Obtain a Certified Translation
Once you have the translated documents, it’s time to certify them. Certification involves a qualified professional confirming the accuracy of the translation and its alignment with the original document. In the case of Locate Translate, we provide certification services to verify the authenticity and accuracy of the translated documents.
Step 2: Certification
Once you have the translated marriage certificate, it’s time to certify it. Certification involves a qualified professional confirming the accuracy of the translation and its alignment with the original document. In the case of Locate Translate, we provide certification services to verify the authenticity and accuracy of the translated marriage certificate.
Step 3: Solicitor Certification (Notary Equivalent)
Before proceeding with the Apostille, there’s one more important step in many cases: solicitor certification. This step is equivalent to notarization and adds an extra layer of authenticity to your document. It’s often required to ensure the Apostille process goes smoothly. Locate Translate works with solicitors who can provide this essential certification, making the entire process more straightforward.
Step 4: Apostille
With your certified and solicitor-certified translation in hand, you’re now ready to obtain the Apostille. The Apostille is a certificate issued by a competent authority that confirms the validity of your document for international use. In the UK, this authority is the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
- Submission: Submit your documents, including the certified translation and solicitor certification, to the FCDO or another competent authority.
- Processing: The authority will process your request and, if everything is in order, attach the Apostille to your documents.
- Completion: Once the Apostille is attached, your documents are now internationally recognized and can be used for your intended purpose abroad.

FAQ
Original Marriage Certificate is already Apostilled, Do I still need a Translation?
Yes, in many cases, you will still need translation even if you have your original marriage certificate apostilled. If the country where you intend to use the certificate does not recognize the language in which your document is issued, you’ll need a certified translation. This ensures that the authorities in the target country can understand and validate the content of your marriage certificate. Locate Translate specializes in certified translations, making the process convenient and ensuring the accuracy of your translated document.
Do I need to Apostille the Certified Translation as well?
