How can I get an apostille on a marriage certificate?
<p>I have a Certificate of Marriage issued from NYC signed by the city clerk</p>

<p>How do I get it apostilled? Do I mail it to the NYC county clerk or the Department of State? Does it need a letter of exemplification?</p>

<p>You do not need a letter of exemplification.  As noted at the <a href="https://www.dos.ny.gov/licensing/apostille.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">New York Department of State link</a> link in Nate Eldredge's comment, that is needed for birth and death certificates only.</p>

<p>The sheet of paper I mentioned in a comment has the same information as may be found under "fees" at <a href="https://www.cityclerk.nyc.gov/content/marriage-records" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.cityclerk.nyc.gov/content/marriage-records</a>.  Essentially, you need a long-form certificate, which costs $35 instead of $15, and you must first visit the <a href="https://www.cityclerk.nyc.gov/content/marriage-bureau/county-clerk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">county clerk</a> (to authenticate the city clerk's signature, for a fee of $3) and then the Department of State at 123 William Street
(19th Floor) (for the apostille, which costs $10).</p>
