Getting married in Serbia - U.S. & Serbian citizen

You normally can get all that information from your nearest Embassy.

I have corresponded with my embassy but they replied that they were unsure as to how updated the birth certificate had to be. Unfortunately they always tend to be limited in regards to information that is not in their jurisdiction, i.e. when it comes to the Serbian legal documentation side. 

Did you see the US Embassy website?

Thanks SimCityAt. Yes I have looked at the documents and emailed the embassy. I know the required documentation but simply want to know if they will accept an apostilled version from 2015. Most likely I will just order a new one by mail from USA just to be sure since most formal documents here require no older than 6 months.

I was just curious if anyone has experienced the process first hand 

Most countries require documents to be not older than 6 months. So to be sure I would request a new one.

Congratulations by the way

thank you    and thanks for the advice!

Austria, France, UK, Spain, to name a few require 6 months or less. So a safe bet Serbia can be added to the list.

I was married in Serbia. I had to get apostle seal thru same service as does passports (sec of state i think). I paid a company to do it for me. It does take about 90 days to get though. And that was expedited by a firm i hired.

I did everything at the Secretary of State office in Chicago as far as apostolates are concerned. I acquired my birth certificate from the county clerks office first, then got the apostilled seal at the Sec of State office while still in the states. I believe every document had to be within 6 months.
