Hi everybody, have anothe question about original certificate. We have both the marriage certificate and birth certificate for my wife with a notorized stamp and another stamp thats says certified true copy. Will this be good enough to send to NVC with DS230? We will be going to Mumbai consulate.

NVC will only accept Orginals!

Originals only.
Certified copy is one that is certified as true by the Issuing Agency, and in case of Birth/Death certificate, it is the Registrat of Birth and Date in your municipal office. No one else can certify this.
Same goes for Marriage Certificate.
Notarized documents are not acceptable.
It's not much hassle to get a few copies from the Registrars, and use it as you need. Go for that, rather than notary shortcut.
