Certified or non certified copies?

[Peter+Michelle 0]

Hello everybody,

I am in the process of filling all forms for my AOS and be confused about if for the I-485 and I-130 I would need a certified copy of our Marriage Certificate or if a normal copy would also do the job of our Certificate.

On the Guideline it says certified in other posts just a copy.

We got one certified copy already but I am curious if we would need to order a second one.

Thanks in advance!

A photocopy of the true and legal document (ie.. certified copy) is acceptable...

It's important that the photocopy be of either an original or certified copy of the actual documents bearing the seal of the issuing authority. Typically, you would include a photocopy of a certified copy, not a copy of a souvenir copy from the actual wedding. Gotta have that official seal before you make the photocopy.

Many counties charge a nominal fee for multiple certificates (I paid $5 for 2 certifiates in Orlando) - so you can also do this - send in the original certificate and get another copy in the meantime. Good Luck

We just sent a photocopy of our marriage certificate and license. They want to see the original documents at the interview.
