AOS interview documents

[kragobar 0]

Hi all,

I have my AOS interview coming up, and the Interview request letter they sent asks for a "Certified Copy of the Marriage Document issued by the appropriate civil authority". I have done some research and have found several conflicting answers as to what this is. Does this just mean I have to bring my original official marriage certificate (got ours in NY), or do I have to get a copy of the marriage certificate certified by a notary public. If it the latter, where is the quickest and easiest place to get this done. Thanks a lot.

Did you get married in a courthouse or a private ceremony? If the court, the marriage certificate that you got from them is fine. It is be blue in color.

I'm not sure how it works if it's a private ceremony. You probably received the same one.

Yes, it was courthouse, and i have the blue one i think you're talking about.

Regardless of where you got married, it would be a good idea to get the certified copy from the County Recorder's office.

Another Trini!

Well you're in luck, I've got the same blue NY marriage license from city hall.

Take the original one, make a photocopy. Take both to the interview so that they can see the original and keep the copy. That's it.
