Good afternoon. I have a question, my husband has an approved DTV and I want to apply as a wife. Does the marriage certificate have to be legalized in any embassy before apply for the DTV ? The certificate is in Spanish and I could do the translation myself but I don't know if they need a translation service or some legalization. Please, does anyone have experience in this situation?

A translated copy should suffice, although depending on the embassy you apply via might want it notarised
