Hey all,

According to the government website and various "instruction" guides they all say "copies of..." when mentioning birth certificates, civil marriage marriage certificates, etc and I was wondering if a simple photocopy is sufficient or should I get certified true copies for this initial filing?

Just trying to do the right thing so as to not have to wait any longer than I must.

Also, I was wondering if there was a glossary of acronyms on this site? I see many acronyms used and some I can find on the internet, others I cannot.

Yes, I've tried to use the search box but with no results.

Thanks!

Mike

Hi..

You should just send photocopies of the originals. No certification required. They do not state this on the applications anyway. They advise to send photocopies of the originals.

Hope this helps. !

"Original" does not usually apply to such things as US birth certificates or divorce decrees. Generally, the best you have is a certified copy. You then inlude a photocopy of the certified copy when filing the petition and then take the actual certified copy to the interview.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous
