What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA

Is a Marriage Certificate from Jamaica recognized as a legal document
in PA??

A friend of mine contacted a document service for a divorce. When
he showed the marriage certificate, he was told that the certifacate was not
legal in PA.
:confused:

I have no idea...maybe the person he is dealing with doesn't know what they are talking about.

He should probably consult a local attorney rather than a document service.
