About this translation

In the United States, a marriage is recorded locally, usually by the county that issued the marriage licence and, in most states, by the state vital records office as well. The certified copy shows the names of both spouses, the date and place of the ceremony, the officiant and, depending on the state, the witnesses and the licence number.

When do you need it translated?

  • A residence permit as the spouse of a French national, at the préfecture

  • A declaration of French nationality by marriage

  • Recording the marriage in French civil status (transcription), if a translation is requested

  • A change of matrimonial regime, an inheritance or a property purchase with a notaire

Our translation

The certified translation covers the whole document: printed and handwritten entries, stamps, seals, signatures and security features. The layout differs from state to state and has changed over the years; some states issue the licence and the certificate on one document, others a retranscribed record. Pick the version matching your state and issue period, or “Other states/years” if yours is not listed.
