If you are applying for naturalization based on your marriage to a U.S. citizen, send the following four items:

1. Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for the last three years:
   • Birth certificate (if your spouse never lost citizenship since birth), or
   • Naturalization Certificate, or
   • Certificate of Citizenship, or
   • The inside of the front cover and signature page of your spouse's current U.S. passport, or
   • Form FS-240, "Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America," and
2. Your current marriage certificate, and
3. Proof of termination of all prior marriages of your spouse - divorce decree(s), annulment(s), or death certificate(s); and
4. Documents referring to you and your spouse:
   • Tax returns, bank accounts, leases, mortgages, or birth certificates of children, or
   • Internal Revenue Service (IRS) - certified copies of the income tax forms that you both filed for the past three years, or
   • An IRS tax return transcript for the last three years.

If you were married before, send:

Proof that all earlier marriages ended - divorce decree(s), annulment(s), or death certificate(s);

-An IRS tax return transcript for the last three years.

Both or one of them? I am asking since both would include the same information. And 'certified' by whom? Does it have to be certified? IRS return transcripts are official documents already...

Thanks.

I have a related question - are others 'front-loading' their apps with lots of stuff, similar to I-751? I mean additional to the transcripts, and marriage cert, are you also sending utility bills, bank statements, mortgage, house deed, insurance etc?

InternetKafe - yes I think certified means certification by the IRS, the tax return transcripts are free from the IRS, but a certified copy of your actual return that was received by the IRS you have to pay for. Its Either/OR not both that USCIS is asking for.

In the list I provide above under #4 there is an "OR" at the end of the 3 different items, this means just one of the items is needed. (Returns OR Transcripts not both)

You are applying for citizenship, no relationship evidence required. Read my post it requires the 4 items above if you are filing at 3 years of residency.

They just need, something showing US citizenship of spouse, Living together, marriage cert, and divorce certs.

Keep it simple.

Thank you Wannabe_Texan and YuAndDan, I did not see the 'or' in my excited wonder why they should ask for both, sorry.
