Marriage Certificate Certificate Copy

[linux7 2]

My wife currently lives in Ahmedabad. We tried to get a duplicate original copy of the marriage certificate, however they said it is not possible to get another original. I do not want to send the only original we have to NVC. What do they mean by certified copy? Is it a xerox copy signed by the issuing agency?

Thanks in advance.

The certified copy is signed by a person nominated by the person or agency asking for it. Typically, the person is referred to as an authorised person. The person who is authorised to sign the certificate will vary between countries. Sometimes a person is authorised by legislation to do so (for example a court clerk, solicitor, or notary public), but this is not always so. In some countries, for example the United Kingdom and South Africa, identity documents can also be certified by authorised Post Office staff[1].

I would call and ask who can certify a copy in India.

My marriage was registered in Ahmedabad as well, and local marriage registrar office does issue certified copy whenever I want to get one. They need your original marriage certificate to issue certified copy. My wife brought about 8 to 10 certified copies. There is a nominal charge of around 50 or less rupees per certified copy.

I submitted one in I-130 application and approved with no issues. I am going to use the same certified marriage certificate for NVC. Certified copy means a document issued by the marriage registrar office which has rights to issue your original marriage certificate. NVC will not accept certified copy.

BTW what have you submitted in your I-130 application to USCIS?

Thanks! For the suggestion I will ask my wife to go to AMC for certified copies. We submitted a xerox copy of our marriage certificate with her I130.

Typo in there: NVC will only accept certified copy.
