[rejane 1]

 

Good Evening 

 

I' m in the mist of getting all my documents ready for me us citizenship interview.

The letter I got stated to bring my original marriage license at this time I only have the original Marriage certificate and a copy of the marriage license I have misplaced the original marriage  license when moving house a few years ago.

The copy of the marriage is certified by the office clerk will this document will be enough the day of the interview ?

Please advices needed.

 

Thank you

If you have a certified copy, that should be sufficient. It is likely that you never had the original as that is filed with the county.

Just to be clear:

 

Marriage License:

A marriage license is a document you need to secure before getting married. This document does not mean you are already married the moment you finish completing it. It is like an application to get married. A marriage license can be obtained from your county clerk or from a specialized notary public. 

 

Marriage Certificate:

The marriage certificate is an official declaration on paper that you are indeed married. Its pre-requisite document is the marriage license. (...) The certificate represents the legality of your marriage (...).
