questions about Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate and Passport

[Maryamm 1]

Hi all,

i am preparing for my documents atm, and i was wondering if the copies of my birth certificate, marriage certificate (it's like a book just FYI) and Passport need to be notarized?? that IF i were to send the copies only of course. I heard that there are 2 choices there when we receive the NVC checklist, to send the copies & certified ones or the original ones, it's our choice which way to go? so, can anyone share about it?

i just wanna well- prepared thank u

Nothing needs to be notarized for the spouse immigration process unless the documents are coming from China. For China, all Chinese civil documents need to be Notarial Translations.
