Rules for Marriage Certificate
Certified Document
You must submit an original certified copy issued by the Indiana Department of Health (Vital Records) or a County Health Department. It must have the original signature of the State Registrar or Local Health Officer.
Notarization is REQUIRED (Critical Step)
This is Indiana's key requirement. The certified marriage certificate must be notarized by an Indiana Notary Public before you send it to the Secretary of State. The notary must affix their seal and complete their notarial certificate. Rejection Cause: Sending the document without this notarization. The state apostilles the notary's signature, not the health official's signature directly.
Complete Cover Sheet
You must include a completed "Document Authentication Submission Form" which acts as your cover sheet. This form is available on the Indiana Secretary of State's website and is mandatory.
Correct Payment
Include a $3.00 per apostille fee. Payment must be made by check or money order payable to "Indiana Secretary of State." Cash is not accepted for mail-in requests.
Pre-Paid Return Shipping
You must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with sufficient postage. Using a trackable service like USPS Priority Mail is highly recommended.
