Married in Las Vegas and Need Your Marriage Certificate for Another Country?
If you were married in Las Vegas and need your marriage certificate for use in another country, Olive Branch can help facilitate the apostille or authentication process once you have ordered the required certified copy.
If you are no longer in Las Vegas, local pickup may be available after your certified copy is ready. We can retrieve the document on your behalf, continue the appropriate apostille or authentication processing, and coordinate return delivery once processing is complete.
This service can be especially helpful for destination wedding couples who have already returned home and need their Nevada marriage certificate prepared for international use.
What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is a government-issued certification used to authenticate certain public documents that will be used in another country.
The exact process depends on the type of document, where it was issued, and the country where it will be used. Some documents require an apostille, while others may require additional authentication or embassy or consular legalization.
How the Process Works
Step 1 — Submit Your Request
Step 2 — We Review the Processing Path
Step 3 — We Coordinate the Required Processing
Step 4 — Your Documents Are Returned
Tell us what document you have, where it was issued, and the country where it will be used.
We determine the appropriate processing path based on the document type, where it was issued, and the country where it will be used.
Olive Branch coordinates document handling and submission to the appropriate agencies or processing partners as needed.
Completed documents are returned using the delivery method selected on your request form.

Does My Document Need to Be Notarized First?
Not always. Some documents require notarization before they can be submitted for apostille or authentication, while others follow a different process based on how and where they were issued.
We’ll review your document to determine whether notarization is required and identify any additional steps needed before submission.
Documents Issued Outside Nevada
Apostilles are generally processed through the state or authority connected to where the document originated. If your document was issued outside Nevada, we may still be able to coordinate the appropriate processing path through trusted partners or provide guidance on the next steps for your request.
The Destination Country Matters
The country where your document will be used determines the required process. Some countries accept an apostille, while others may require additional authentication or embassy or consular legalization.
That’s why we ask for the destination country at the beginning of every request.
How Long Does the Process Take?
Processing times vary depending on the type of document, where it must be processed, and whether additional authentication or legalization steps are required. Mailing time, government processing times, and third-party processing can also affect the overall timeline.
We’ll provide an estimated timeline based on your specific request, but exact completion dates cannot be guaranteed.
Getting Your Documents to Us
Our apostille request form asks you to choose how you’d like to provide your documents to us and how you’d like them returned once processing is complete. Depending on your needs, you may mail your documents, arrange local pickup and return within the Las Vegas area, or provide them to us during a scheduled mobile notary appointment if notarization is required.
Your selected delivery and return method will be reviewed with your request, and any applicable pickup, delivery, or mailing fees will be included in your quote.
