Proof of Address

[JAYANN & JAY 11]

Anyone had a civil marriage and was asked to provide proof of address for the fiance/fiancee?

[Darnell 8,478]

Did that happen to you, in the USA?

[JAYANN & JAY 11]

When we filed for our marriage license here in New Jersey they asked my fiance to provide a proof of address and the only thing he had was his Philippine ID with his address and they also want a proof of address for our civil ceremony.

what news of SSN ?

[JAYANN & JAY 11]

we haven't filed for the ssn yet since we are waiting a couple more of days just to make sure he is in the SAVE system already.

_{Nothing in the requirements state the ID needs to show New Jersey residence, the requirements state a passport is adequate. Maybe you need to speak to a supervisor and bring a copy of the requirements along... looks like that office has one more graduate from the Forrest Gump school of - Stupid Is As Stupid Does}

I told the person who was doing our marriage license that he just arrived on 9/23 and he doesnt have a proof of address yet luckily they accepted the things I provided (our NOA2 & his visa since it had my name as the petitioner but not the full address. I had assumed I was the one who needs a proof of address since it stated that one of us had to be a resident of NJ. As for the SSN we will file the next day after we get married since it will be 2 weeks next week

Unnecessary, as a COA is only for a person in the USA having a previous mailing address. USPS cannot change address from a foreign country.

SSA will send her card to wherever you list on the SS-5.

Not saying you can't do that... but what document do you have showing her official address? Did you just print out your confirmation letter with her name on it? Did they accept it?

When we did ours, they wanted to see a mortgage statement, utility bill (with HER name on it as well as mine), or a bank statement (which wouldn't work cuz she didn't have SSN yet)... not sure how a USPS COA would help (having just done one 2 weeks ago for us). I ended up using DEERS enrollment cuz I had nothing else.

[Niblet 22]

her passport w/a visa in it and maybe the affidavit of support,,,I dunno,,I will enjoy seeing the look on the persons face

when I ask them how I can provide proof of address

the PO will send a conf letter to the house with her address on it,,,
