Marriage License and Marriage Certificate IDAHO

[SierraTenTango 37]

Hello!

 

I have a little bit of a problem.

 

It is clearly said that USCIS wants a marriage certificate, so my husband went to the Courthouse in Idaho where we got married to get one. The lady told him that in Idaho Marriage License and Marriage certificate are the same... Is that true? What should we do now? I don't want our application get rejected... I wanted to write an e-mail to USCIS to ask about it but I can't find one

In Washington state it's the same thing too.

 

When you get the marriage license here there is a space at the bottom that is left blank. At the actual ceremony the officiant or minister or whoever is doing the ceremony completes the final part with the date, their name, etc to testify that a legal marriage took place. This is then returned to the county that issued it, stamped and sealed and it becomes your marriage certificate. Do you still have this? If not, you can get a copy from the county where the marriage was performed.

Okay, thank you very much for explaining me this. We still have it of course!
