Marriage Certificate Translation in Illinois
Illinois marriages are recorded by the county clerk of the county that issued the licence - in Chicago, the Cook County Clerk. Illinois also still offers civil unions, created in 2011 and kept after marriage opened to all couples, and a civil union certificate is a different document from a marriage certificate.

Civil unions abroad
A foreign registry deciding what to do with an Illinois civil union will look at exactly what the document says, and some countries have no equivalent institution. The translation must call it a civil union - never a marriage - even where the destination language has no single word for it; where needed, the term is rendered with the English kept in brackets.
Couples in a civil union who need a marriage certificate for recognition abroad can marry each other in Illinois. That produces a marriage certificate, which travels far more easily.
Polish marriage records
Polish registry offices issue a marriage record as a full copy (odpis zupełny) or an abridged one. A divorce or annulment is noted on the full copy, which makes it a useful companion to the divorce judgment when a new spousal petition has to show that an earlier marriage ended.
