Hi, 

My husband will be filing his n400 as soon as our window opens on Sept. 19.  We were married in Mexico, so we have a long form marriage certificate with fingerprints and witness signatures.  We also have a short form  certificate with the information minus the witness signatures that is certified by the civil registry.

 

When I applied for his green card we used the short form because it is easy to get another copy of that and they ended up taking the original at the consulate when he had his green card appointment.

 

Now I am wondering, will they take the original marriage certificate that we show at the naturalization interview?  I am wondering which one I should upload and translate.  Obviously if they need to keep an original I would prefer they not keep the one with our fingerprints and witness signatures.  Just because that one is irreplaceable. 

 

So do they keep original marriage certificate at the interview or do they just want to see it?

 

Thanks,

They do not keep the original.

I brought my original with me and they didn't even ask for it as I had already uploaded a copy on my online application.
