I'm gathering forms and evidence to prove that my husband and my marriage is bona fide. I've got tons of pictures of us when we were dating but I don't want to send in the originals since I won't get them back. Is it ok to photocopy the photos and maybe write captions underneath to explain where/when it was?

Thanks!

If you have access to a scanner it will be better to have them printed at a photo store instead of making photocopies.

Yeah I was thinking that too. I just thought photocopies would be easiest but I THINK I have the negatives still of some of the pictures.

What about for ticket stubs of plane tickets/visits..I'd really like to keep the originals, are photocopies for those ok?

Yes, you can do that. Remember though, they do not take pics very seriously when sent in the original package, you need to also include something more serious, like a joint bank statement, copy of a joint utility bill, etc (all examples of proof listed in the guide).One item should be enough for the package.

Thanks everyone for your answers! We do have more proof than just pictures. We have a joint lease (one for last year's 12 mos and the one we just re-signed together for the next year). We have a joint bank account, joint loan out on our car. Do you think these 3 items are sufficient? I can get my name put on the electric bill, I just haven't yet since it didn't seem important. I can also send in our joint cell phone plan (family plan) but I'm not sure how serious they would take that.
