Spouse Birth Certificate - Divorced

[mep 2]

Hello - I have my naturalization interview on Friday and my interview letter says I should bring my spouses birth certificate. I am divorced and applying for naturalization as I've lived her for 10 years and meet the requirements.

 

Do I still need to bring a copy of my ex-husband's birth certificate, as that was how I originally obtained residency?

Applying under 5 year residency rule, you do not need ex-husband's birth certificate.  Did you add his birth certificate when you applied?  You need to take your original birth certificate.

If you have it, why not bring it. If you don't, oh well, you can't bring what you don't have. Either way is not gonna be a big deal I don't think.

I did not provide his birth certificate. I did provide my birth certificate and my divorce decree. I wasn't sure if that is just a standard request they ask of everyone, though it may not be applicable to everyone??

Yes, it is  a standard format and  you will be fine.  Best of luck with your interview.  Take your original birth certificate and other original documents you submitted with applications.
