I’m not sure about all the other countries and their requirements, but I got mine apostilled and translated with the translator certificate after our wedding. We got married in Brazil and I went back to the US for a few months got it apostilled and translated. It’s helped very much! Anytime someone asks for it I put it out and make a copy to send off. Never,  NEVER, mail anyone your original apostilled copy. I only present it in person.

we call it Marriage certificate in the US 

Apostille being a French word

You need to get the marriage certificate from Rabat (Ministry of Justice)

it will have an embossed stamp to verify it 

you need to have it translated into English (translation must be done by a sworn translator (sworn by Court of Appeals)

Immigration wants both Arabic and English one

immigration (for Morocco ) will want an original as the paper size for Morocco is slighty larger than US paper

and they are aware of this

Not a copy as other countries can send

 

Be aware immigration has special requests for morocco

 

you also should get an original for yourself and IRS as you will need it in the US

You USC spouse should also add the Moroccan on tax returns for 2019 by sending an W7 form along with your birth certificate,  marriage certificate / this is important to the Casa embassy

USC can message me here and ask about this

sorry but they need to send an original from Morocco as my lawyer sent a copy and i got an RFE from NVC for the original 

morocco paper is larger than the US and morocco has issues with people offering fake documents

That’s why I said “’I’m not sure about all the other countries and their requirements,”, at the beginning of my comment.
