Marriage License or Certificate – Embassy Legalization & Authentication for Arab Countries

The Arab American Chamber of Commerce (AACC)®, located in Washington D.C., provides reliable, secure, and professional embassy legalization services for U.S.-issued marriage licenses and marriage certificates. If you plan to live, work, apply for a visa, or register your marriage in an Arab country, your marriage document must be authenticated and legalized to be officially recognized abroad.

We handle all required government and embassy steps on your behalf—ensuring your documents are accepted without delays or legal issues.

Why Legalize a Marriage Certificate or License?

Most Arab League countries require foreign marriage documents to go through a multi-step legalization process before being accepted for:

• Family visa or residency applications
  
  

• Spousal sponsorship
  
  

• Government record registration
  
  

• Inheritance, divorce, or property matters
  
  

• Religious recognition of marriage
  
  

Even if your marriage was legally registered in the U.S., it is not automatically recognized in many Arab nations unless it is properly legalized.

Legalization Process for Marriage Certificates

AACC manages the complete legalization process for your marriage certificate or license:

1. Certified Copy Requirement
   Ensure you have a certified copy of your marriage certificate or license from the state vital records office.
   
   

2. Secretary of State Certification
   The certified document must first be authenticated by the Secretary of State in the state of issuance.
   
   

3. U.S. Department of State Authentication
   We submit your document to the U.S. Department of State in Washington D.C. for federal-level authentication (approx. 9 business days).
   
   

4. Embassy Legalization
   Once authenticated, your document is legalized by the embassy of your destination Arab country.
   
   

5. Final Delivery
   You’ll receive your fully legalized marriage certificate—complete with all required seals and stamps.
