What is a UK Marriage certificate?
A marriage certificate is issued once a marriage is registered in the UK. It’s required for visas, residency, and family applications overseas.
Why legalise it?
Legalisation (apostille) confirms the certificate is authentic and valid under UK law.
How to get it legalised
-
Obtain an original or certified copy issued by the GRO or local registrar (photocopies are not accepted).
-
Check the signature — it must be from an authorised registrar.
-
Place order online for an apostille.
-
If required by the destination country, have it attested by the embassy.
The Hague Apostille offers express and same-day legalisation for marriage certificates.
