A certified copy is required for all legal name changes and to prove legal marriage to U.S. immigration and other organizations.

Driver's License and Social Security offices need to see a certified copy of your marriage license in order to process any name change. The"Duplicate B" copy of the marriage license does not work for any legal purposes and is strictly for your personal records only.

Certified copies issued by the Finance Office are white, will say "Original" in the lower right corner of the document, and will have a special stamp and seal on the back of the copy.

Certified copies can also be picked up in person at the Cass County Finance Office at the courthouse.
