Registering a DC marriage with an embassy
Many foreign nationals register a DC marriage with their own embassy, which passes it to the civil registry at home. Each embassy sets its own document rules. Some accept an English certificate without translation; some want a translation by their own accredited translator; others accept any certified translation.
Ask the embassy before ordering. If it accepts an independent certified translation, ours is signed by a state court certified translator; if it does not, we will say so.
