NFT: BBI Lawyers - Marriage Abroad

McLovin28 : 7/5/2018 1:32 pm
I just got married abroad and I am trying to figure out how I get it registered here in the US. Google has been of no help. Any suggestions? The marriage certificate is not in English.
i believe to go to your local town hall

and get legally married there

The one done abroad has no legal standing

Something about the handle

They weren't very helpful.
You need to get legally married in the USA

Your international ceremony and certificate most likely has no legal standing here.

Your town, city or county clerk will be able to guide you in the process.

All my friends who had international ceremonies also had a small ceremony at the town hall.
dont do it

I was married in Jamaica

and we made sure we got married in a place where it was reciprocal to America. You didn't check with local authorities there about reciprocity?

I think the suggestion above about going to city hall is correct though.
Sounds like an Apostille situation

Call the consulate nearest you from the country where you got married.

Why dont you and your wife walk into the local marriage office and say "hey we would like the paperwork to get married please", fill out said paperwork, pay the fee and pick up a marriage license.

Does this have something to do with your wife not being present in the USA with you? Because then you have an issue
Don’t marry abroad
