Marriage Certificate Translation in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania marriage licences come from the Register of Wills, acting as Clerk of the Orphans' Court, in each county, and the certified copy comes from the same office. Pennsylvania also issues a licence most states do not: the self-uniting licence, which lets a couple marry without an officiant.

Self-uniting marriage certificates abroad
The self-uniting licence comes from the Quaker practice of marrying without clergy, and it is available to any couple. The certificate is signed by the couple and two witnesses instead of an officiant, and it is a fully valid Pennsylvania marriage.
An official abroad who expects an officiant's signature may query it. That is a reason to apostille the certificate before it travels, and to have the translation render it exactly as issued - witness signatures and self-uniting designation included - rather than smoothing it into a conventional form.
