My close friend is getting married soon and I was thinking about sending for an apostolic blessing from the Pope on her marriage. A priest friend of my DH gave us this as a wedding gift. Do you know where to go to send for one?

I’m not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this question - mods, please feel free to move it if it does not belong here :).

There is a thread on here from years ago that I posted the phone number and name of the place to contact.
 
You should first try going through your diocesan Chancery Office to obtain the Apostolic Blessing certificate. It has to be done within a certain timeframe and, will require documentation from the parish priest, so contact the office now to get all the particulars.

Here is a PDF file from a website indicating another procedure going through the Papal Nuncio or directly to the Vatican:

I jus got ours in the mail and went through the parish. 🙂 It took a few months, not bad. Good luck with yours!
