Marriage certificate notarized by us embassy

[M&M13 6]

Hey guys,

Me and my wife just got married in egypt and we are thinking about filling the cr1 or k3 application, and I got the marriage certificate translated to English, do I need to notarized it at the us embassy to use the certificate for the application, or the translation will work fine, and my wife travelled back to the us, can I do the notarization for her at the embassy or the us citizen is the one must do it ? 

 

Thanks

You don't need to do anything at the embassy, the translation you obtained in of itself is sufficient.

I think you should apostille it from Egypt. I do not think US Embassy notarizes stuff.

You don't need to notarize it. You send in a copy of the original marriage certificate and also a copy of the translation.

That's not necessary.

That is only necessary if the country you are getting married is not the country you live in. Like destination weddings. If you will have an interview in Egypt, there is no need to apostile.
