Question about marriage and divorce certificate

[fcat 79]

I was recently divorced and have two copies of the divoce certificate.

When i filed for a divorce the court kept the original marriage certificate.

On the US Embassy website it says the following:

Marriage Certificate: If you are or were married, you must present a copy (legalized by the Junta Central Electoral and in the in extensa format)of your marriage certificate. You must also present proof of the termination of any previous marriage, such as a death certificate, divorce decree (legalized and in the in extensa or evidence of annulment. The same requirements apply to the petitioner.

Divorce Certificate: If you are or were divorced, you must present a copy (legalized by the Junta Central Electoral and in the in extensa format)of your divorce certificate.

---------

Do i take it that even though i am divorced i still have to show them a copy of the marriage certificate ? as it says "If you are or WERE married"

thanks

Are you going through London? I only ask because "Junta Central Electoral" is not what you might expect to see on the marriage certificate of someone going through London.... If you're not, you might want to let a mod or organiser to move this to a more appropriate forum.

If you ARE going through London, and you are the USC, my experience was that they don't need to see the marriage certificate from prior marriages, only the divorce decree. I have no idea if this is the case for UKCs. I have a feeling this is moot, though, since I suspect you're not going through London.
