She is also going to make sure it's translated into english for me so I can bring it back home and I guess change my name...
Still not an expert on this...
That's exactly what an apposile is, "a raised seal" that proves its a legal document. Some states require it in order to change your name. Also based on my HORRIBLE experience with changing my name, if you are going to get your documents translated be sure that it has the company name of who did the translation, address, it's an orginal document and the person who did the translation signed it. I ended up having to pay a translation company ontop of what our wedding coordinator sent us because they refused to accept it.
