First, check whether the certified record is ready
If you already have the certified copy, tell us who issued it, where you’ll use it and when it needs to arrive. A scan can help describe the document for initial review. State submission requires an eligible official document.
Recently married? If you filed the license in Boston, check that City Hall received and registered the completed record. Boston lists separate steps for newly registered and restricted records. For Boston records needed for an apostille, the Registry directs customers to request a certified copy with a raised seal. See the City of Boston’s marriage certificate instructions.
If you filed the marriage license in another municipality, start with that clerk even if the ceremony was in Boston. If the record is restricted, confirm with the custodian who can request it and what identification is required. For Boston’s restricted records, the City says only people listed on the record can obtain the certified copy.
Plan for three separate deadlines
1. When the clerk can issue the copy
If retrieval is needed, registration, availability and access requirements determine when this step can begin. Tell us the municipality where you filed and whether you have already contacted its clerk.
2. When the state can process it
The Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth issues the state certification. Ask us to review expedited handling for your document before making travel plans. We’ll confirm the proposed scope and timing with you. Read the state’s filing instructions.
3. When it must reach the recipient
Give us the recipient’s appointment or filing date and the earlier date by which the finished document needs to arrive. Include the delivery city and country. For destinations that may require authentication and additional legalization, share the receiving office’s written instructions so we can review the route.
Send these details for a deadline review
Share the issuing office, whether you already have the certified copy, the number of sets, the country of use, and the arrival deadline and delivery destination. If you’re overseas, also tell us where the document is now. We’ll explain the next step and quote the agreed service before you send originals.
