How to get an apostille for a marriage certificate in Denmark

Once we receive your certificate, we personally submit it to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Copenhagen, where the apostille stamp is issued.
After processing, your legalised document is returned to you via secure international shipping with tracking.
We handle the entire process for you, no need to travel or deal with authorities.

Delivery time depends on your location, but all shipments include tracking. DHL Express service is available on request.
What is an apostille and why is it required
An apostille is an official certification that confirms the authenticity of a public document, such as a marriage certificate.
It is required when you need to use your Danish document in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
Do I need to translate my Danish marriage certificate
No. Danish marriage certificates are issued in multiple languages, including English and German, and are generally accepted without translation.
However, requirements may vary depending on the country.
Can you apostille documents other than marriage certificates
Yes. While we specialise in marriage certificates, we can also assist with other Danish documents.
Contact us with a copy of your document, and we will confirm if apostille is possible.
Do I need to translate my Danish marriage certificate?
No. Danish marriage certificates are already issued in five languages (Danish, English, German, Spanish, and French). This makes them widely accepted without translation. If you are unsure, check with your local authority.
Can I get an apostille if I do not live in Denmark?
Yes. Our service is designed especially for international couples married in Denmark. You simply send your certificate to our office in Vallensbæk, and we handle everything in Copenhagen. Your apostilled document is then shipped safely back to you – no need for you to travel.
Can you apostille other documents besides marriage certificates?
Yes, in some cases. While we specialise in Danish marriage certificates, we may also assist with other official Danish documents. Please send us an email with a copy of your document, and our team will confirm if we can legalise it.
