Don't Be Scammed

In order to get proof of our marriage in the US, we have to get a statement notarized by a US notary before we can get an apostille proof of our marriage. Because of the Confidential Marriage in California that we had, the request has to be notarized by a US notary.

Why is this important? If/When one of us dies, eventually, in order to have any say about the remains we have to have proof of our marriage that is an apostille.

Not a big deal until one of us dies and we don't have it.

We are trying to cover the bases well in advance. We needed to have the document notarized, used him, and plan to have a friend mail it in the US, get the apostille and bring it to us.

IF his notary service isn't real, we'll have to make a trip, at least one of us to the US to get this handled someday.

But the notary service seems to be just fine. We had a lot of things notarized for our residency, things look fine. We should know in a few months.
