USCIS no longer routinely requires submission of original documents or "certified copies." Instead, ordinary legible photocopies of such documents (including naturalization certificates and alien registration cards) will be acceptable for initial filing and approval of petitions and applications.

For most things USCIS related you would need a certified copy (more of the same from the issuing county)

The marriage certificate that i got is already a certified copy, so i wonder if i need more of those or just simple copies of that one that i got?

Hmmmm that's interesting. We were asked for our certified marriage certificate at the interview. But you might be right that he may not need one until the interview stage.

Correct, it is not needed to be mail to USCIS, but it should be brought with you to the interview, just in case the CIS officer wants to confirm that the copy is genuine.

If you follow the link I provided and read further:

At the discretion of the officer, original documents may still be required in individual cases. Please be advised that USCIS no longer returns original documents submitted with the exception of Certificates of Naturalization, Forms I-551, Permanent Resident Card, Forms I-94, Arrival/Departure Document, valid passports, or those specifically requested by the officer.

We sent a plain old copy of all evidence in with out AOS application, RESULT: Approval WITHOUT interview.
