Does anyone know if the marriage certificate you recieve at the local civil registry in Mexico is official on its own or do I have to get it apostiled or notarized. I thought that i read somewhere that after I recieve my marriage certificate I need to get it stamped or something like that.

Thanks in advance

You mean do you need to get the Mexican Marriage Certificate notarized or get an apostille in order to file the I-130? I don't think so. I have never heard of anyone having to do this, so whatever original you have should be fine. Do note though that the primary document that they seem to want you to translate for Mexico is the Marriage Certificate, so that's something to think about.
