Report of Marriage information

[Christina Pizzuti 32]

Hi.. just to share my experience about ROM.  Aside from the 4 original ROM form, i submitted 1 original copy and 4 copies of wedding certificate. 5 copies each of mine and hubby's passport. 2x2 passport picture of both of us. I think if you will mail it, WC and passport copy must be certified copy.

Yes the marriage certificate must be a certified copy if you don't send the original, but that is easily acquired once you have the original recorded with the county recorder. 

 

Copies of passports, and green card do NOT have to be certified... just copies.

I can't really tell you the difference between the two but I did look up how to get a Certified copy of your marriage license from Portland. 

 

How do I get a certified copy of my marriage license?

 

You can get a certified copy either by:

1. Coming in person. We process requests immediately. We accept cash, checks and debit or credit cards. The fee is $7.75 for the first copy, $4.00 each for any additional copies.
2. Mailing in the  Certified Copy Request Form (39.06 KB). Once received, we process requests within 1-2 business days. We only accept checks for mailed requests. Payments must be in US dollars.
