They told me that you should never send the original away... after a little digging, I found it on the passport website as well (that you can send a copy). I wish these things were more clear sending away from this &*^%$ passport was the biggest pain in the @SS!

Sorry, I am a little confused. Does this mean that I can just make a photocopy of my marriage license or that I need a certified copy?

you need a certified copy. it has to have a raised seal on it.

I sent mine back for the name change in April and have yet to get it back... I need it within the next month- we are going on our second honeymoon!!
2nd honeymoon?!! where to?

I hope you get it back in time! did you pay the additional $60 to have it expedited?

We are going to Mexico which was our original desitnation. Hurrican Wilma ripped through Mexico a few weeks before the wedding and closed the hotel so about two weeks before we got married we had to find somewhere else to go... Hotels open and we're going in exactly one month!!

I didn't pay to have it expedited cuz the first time I got it it didn't take very long... I have to go to the post office today so I'm going to check up on it....
