Marriage licenses when one applicant is a foreign citizen
The Montgomery County Clerk asks both applicants for a driver’s license or government-issued photo ID showing date of birth. An applicant without a Social Security number must show proof of foreign citizenship, such as a foreign passport or immigration or visa documentation.
The license fee is $107.50, or $47.50 with a notarized Certificate of Completion from a premarital preparation course of at least four hours. The clerk’s page does not address translations of foreign documents, so call 931-648-5711 if any paper you plan to present is not in English.
Steps to order from Clarksville
- 1. Send the file. Use the quote form to upload a PDF, JPEG, PNG or Word copy of every page, front and back if both sides have text.

- 3. Receive the translation. Most are completed in 1 to 2 business days and arrive by email with the signed certificate of accuracy. Paper copies can be mailed.

Austin Peay State University and foreign transcripts
Austin Peay State University in Clarksville does not ask applicants to arrange a separate translation. Its international undergraduate admissions page says students must use an evaluation agency to provide official translated and evaluated copies of all transcripts, certificates, diplomas or degrees.
The registrar adds that a course by course evaluation of a foreign transcript must be completed by a foreign transcript educational credentialing agency, and it publishes a list of agencies it accepts, including WES, ECE and IEE. We are a translation company and not a credential evaluator. If your chosen agency asks you to supply an English translation along with the original, that is the part we can prepare.
USCIS and other federal uses
For immigration filings the standard comes from 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). A foreign-language document sent to USCIS has to be accompanied by a full English translation, the translator’s certification that it is complete and accurate, and the translator’s certification of competence in both languages.
The certificate we attach addresses each of those elements. Acceptance is decided by the agency reviewing your case.
How a Tennessee apostille works from Clarksville
The Tennessee Secretary of State in Nashville is the only office that issues apostilles for Tennessee documents. Requests use the Apostille or Authentication Request Form (SS-4504), and the Office of Vital Records lists the charge as $2.00 per document.
- By mail. Office of Authentications, Tennessee Secretary of State, 312 Rosa L. Parks Ave, 6th Floor, Nashville, TN 37243.
- In person. 312 Rosa L. Parks Ave, 3rd Floor, Nashville, Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Central Time. Arrive by 2:00 p.m. for same-day service.
- Notarized documents. Take the notarized document to the County Clerk first to have the notary public’s signature certified, as the Secretary of State’s guide instructs.
- Vital records. A certified copy you already hold can be sent straight to the Secretary of State. If you need the copy too, the Office of Vital Records takes one check for the copy and a second, payable to the Tennessee Secretary of State, for the apostille, and forwards everything.
Notarized translations and languages
Some foreign authorities want the translator’s signature notarized before the apostille is attached. For a translation that must be notarized for Tennessee, we hire a notary commissioned in Tennessee to notarize the translator’s statement.
We work in 100 languages. Spanish, Russian, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic and Czech are requested most, and you are welcome to ask about any other. According to the Census Bureau’s 2024 American Community Survey 1-year estimates, Clarksville has 185,680 residents, 8.7 percent of them foreign-born, and 17.4 percent of the population are veterans.
