hello everyone,,

I just had a concern regarding our marriage certificate. Me and my wife are from gujarat. On our certificate, there is a stamp which says true copy. We do not have any originals. My wife inquired this back in gujarat, was told that that is how it works. there is no original certificate. all you get is the certicate (on light green color paper) and it has a govt stamp and says TRUE copy. Now I am just worried that when my wife goes for the interview, they might ask "where is the original"? what does your marriage cerificate look like? do you guys have an actual original certificate..?? any suggestions/info is appreciated.!!

thnx everyone :)

Soni,

That is fine. I got married in Gujarat, and the marriage certificate I received was the "True Copy" one. That is what I had submited for immigration purposes and was fine.

i think that is perfectly fine as long as it has the stamp and the signatures from the officials in blue / green or any other ink than black which looks like a true copy

in our case we did get the originals along with registration of our marriage in indian and american court and also our geico insurance together in america

but i m pretty sure some states dont give the originals but as long as it is not xerox and a true copy its perfectly fine , need not worry .
