Question for Australians or Non Americans

My partner and I recently went to get some information on what you need now to get married here in Colombia at the notarias office.
We were told the usual stuff like proof that your not already married, and a birth certificate but they also said that you need a "seal" from the consulate in your country.
Im confused? Now that the law has changed so that we can now marry a colombian on a tourist visa what do you need a seal from the colombian consulate in your country for?

Anyone Anyone?

fieldy says on Aug 9, 2005, 07:34: Apostille You need a certificate to prove you are single. Certificado de soltero. This needs to be issued in Australia or wherever you are from. You then need to go to the government in Australia. (Department Of Foreign Affairs) and have them apply an Apostille stamp to authenticate the document. You can do this by mail. It costs $60 in Australia. Do a search under Apostille for more info. 0 funny, 0 helpful.
