Marriage Certificate required for K-1 interview

[Blueyz48 28]

My Canadian fiance and I are in the waiting period between NOA1 and NOA2 and are trying to be proactive in collecting necessary documents that will be needed when he goes to his interview. I've managed to find a copy of the p3 he should be receiving and one of the things listed is marriage certificates. We have both been previously married and have our divorce decrees but no marriage certificates...do we have to have certified marriage certificates from previous marriages? I guess it seems redundant to have to have them if we have divorce decrees but if we need them so be it. It just takes more time for him to get those type documents than it does for me and he should request asap if we truly need them...thank you in advance for any advice!

If they are requested on the P3 then they are required. They may or may not ask for them at the interview and you can play Russian roulette and not have them in the hopes they are not ask for but you'll face a delay until such time as you can produce them.

I am the Canadian, and have also been previously married. I didn't even think of that because I had to turn in the marriage certificate to the Supreme Court while filing for my divorce. I only have my divorce decree and certificate of divorce. 
I was under the impression that not everything is applicable on the P3 checklist. 🤷‍♀️

I'm not sure either, that is why we are trying to figure it out now. We have come to find that it takes forever to get those types of legal documents from the Canadian government. I would hate to get to the interview stage and not have everything they want.

You don't need the marriage certificate when you've been divorce. Just the divorce decree.
