For spousal visas, foreign registration of marriage, and citizenship applications. $190 per certificate, 5 business days. Serving Hallandale Beach with mobile pickup and our nearby Wilton Manors office.
In Hallandale Beach — home to about 41,000 residents — the need for a marriage certificate apostille usually arrives with a deadline attached: a consulate appointment, a visa window, a foreign closing date. Married in Florida, but the marriage needs to count somewhere else? Foreign governments don't take a U.S. marriage certificate at face value — they require an apostille before registering the marriage, issuing a spousal visa, processing a name change, or extending citizenship rights to a spouse.
Florida marriage certificates are issued by the Clerk of Court in the county where the license was recorded — in Broward County, that's the Broward Clerk of Courts. Only a certified copy with the clerk's seal qualifies for an apostille. We verify the copy, file it in person at the Florida Department of State, and return the apostilled certificate in 5 business days. For Hallandale Beach residents, that means one handoff — at your door or at our office — and the apostilled original back in your hands on a defined timeline.
Immigration authorities in nearly every country require an apostilled marriage certificate before issuing a spousal visa or residency permit to a foreign-married couple.
Many countries — Italy, Spain, Colombia, Brazil among them — require citizens to register a foreign marriage at home, and the apostilled U.S. certificate is the core document.
Spain, Italy, Portugal, and many Latin American countries offer accelerated citizenship for spouses of citizens — every application starts with an apostilled marriage certificate.
Updating a passport, national ID, or property title in another country after marrying in Florida requires the apostilled certificate as proof.
Survivor benefits, health coverage, and pension rights for a spouse under a foreign system require apostilled proof of the marriage.
Divorce or annulment proceedings in a foreign court over a Florida marriage begin with an apostilled copy of the original certificate.
Hallandale Beach is home to roughly 41,000 residents. Hallandale Beach's large Russian-speaking and Eastern European community — plus a strong seasonal Canadian and South American presence — makes apostilles with certified translation one of our most common combined requests from the city.
We serve clients throughout Hallandale Beach's neighborhoods including Golden Isles, Three Islands, Atlantic Shores, and the Hallandale Beach Boulevard corridor, as well as nearby communities such as Hollywood, Aventura, Dania Beach, and Golden Beach. Landmarks like Gulfstream Park, the Big Easy Casino, and Hallandale's beachfront high-rises put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.

The document must be a certified copy of the marriage record issued by the Clerk of Court in the Florida county where the marriage license was filed — for Broward weddings, the Broward County Clerk of Courts. The decorative certificate signed at the ceremony, the church certificate, and photocopies cannot be apostilled.
Don't have a certified copy? Broward's Clerk of Courts issues them by mail, online, and in person. Married in another Florida county — Miami-Dade, Palm Beach — the process is the same through that county's clerk, and we apostille those too. Married in another state, and the certificate must be apostilled there; married abroad, and the foreign certificate can't receive a U.S. apostille at all. When your marriage certificate is ready, bring it to our office — about 25 minutes from Hallandale Beach — or book mobile pickup and we'll come to you.

No. Either spouse — or anyone you authorize — can hand us the certificate. The apostille authenticates the clerk's signature on the record, not yours.
Frequently, yes — Spanish-, Portuguese-, and Italian-speaking countries typically require a certified translation of the certificate for local registration. We coordinate translation and apostille together.
Certified copies don't expire under Florida law, but many foreign registries want one issued within the last 6–12 months. If yours is old, order a fresh copy — it's inexpensive and avoids rejection abroad.
