Also GOOD LUCK, I sent my documents REGISTERED MAIL (Guarenteed in 6 weeks and have to be signed for) And they never got my documents!!!!! I just got married 2 weeks ago and still trying to find where my documents are in the mail service! But no fear ladies- take an extra photographed copy of you passports, driver's license and birth certificate just in case, that is what I did and they got everything taken care of.... I'm mad I went and spent all that money to send the documents and they never got there!
Thanks for the info, but I'm still a little confused! So my passport and certified birth certificate (with seal) should be okay. Shouldn't they say "certified" instead of "notarized"?
I was married before and have to bring a notarized copy of my divorce decree and documents stating name change.
I looked online to find out how to get this and my county states I can order a certified copy of the divorce decree, but doesn't state anything about a notarized copy. Is this the same thing? There are not any name change documents because I just used my old marriage certificate.
Am just wondering if anyone else had to do this? If so, can you shed some light on what is needed? Thanks so much!
