Almost 5 Weeks and No Marriage Certificate?

Is this the norm? I already missed the 30 day time frame for putting DH on my insurance and I am wondering if I should have gotten it by now...

We got ours faster then that...call your officiant and find out when they sent it in. I am kind of surprised your job won't let you add DH on with out the certificate.

Ours took a while to come in. I think it was about 5 weeks also.

I didn't need any proof to add my husband to my insurance at work ...
