We will file N400 in November under the 3-year rule as I am married to a USC.

One of the documents needed is our "current marriage certificate". We have a non-US marriage certificate that was translated overseas and used for direct consular filing. We don't have a US marriage certificate.

I'm not sure what we need to do at this stage. Do we need to notarize/certify/attest our existing certificate? Do we need to get a US certificate? I did a search and couldn't find an exact answer to our question.

Thanks!

Final Stretch to become a USC:

11-20-2013: Eligibility Date

08-21-2014: Application Sent

08-23-2014: Application Received

08-25-2014: Priority Date

08-28-2014: Check/Money Order Cashed

09-05-2014: Biometrics Letter Sent Date

09-16-2014: Biometrics Walk-in Date

09-25-2014: Biometrics Scheduled Date

09-19-2014: In-line for Interview

01-16-2015: Email/Text saying Interview was Scheduled

02-23-2015: Interview Date

03-03-2015: Email/Text saying In-line for Oath

06-12-2015: Oath Ceremony (Court)

I'm a USC!

Translate the one you have if it's not in English and send it. To the government if you are married once in the world that's it you are married and a foreign marriage certificate is as good as one that was issued here.

The certificate we have is translated to English, and we used it for Direct Consular Filing at a U.S. Embassy overseas. What I understand is this will suffice and we do not need to get it notarized/certified/attested.

No you don't have to.
