Can the marriage certificate be notorized by a clerk or does it have to be a judge?

And can the BC and marriage license come from the county or does it actually have to be thru thr capitol? Ours are thru the county with a raised state seal and they say true certified copy on them. Will they work?

Oh this is stressful!!!! I thought it was going great till today and now I might have messed up.

Help!!!!

As someone who reviews dossiers for my agency I would...

1) Have your doctor's letter redone with a better signature and a better notarial date (at least a year away)

2) Be sure your notary write/types legibly

3) Marriage certificate needs to be issued by the state and/or county with a state/county seal

State specific questions are probably best answered by your homestudy social worker, as each state has different laws.

Good luck!
