Hi Ladies,I was wondering what your experience has been in the past with this-do you have to take the certified copy or will the non-certified work as well?  Also, do you have to take your old SSN card with you?I really appreciate the help!TIA!

    Kelly, I just went.  I only needed my driver's license and the copy of the marriage certificate that was given to me by the officiant after the wedding (I didn't have to request a special copy).  They don't keep it.  They give it back to you.  Prepare yourself though.  I waited 2 hours in that madness.  Totally not cool (or fun)!  I didn't need my old SS card.

    Did you go in MD or VA?  Ugh-2 hours!My strategy is to go in the middle of the afternoon instead of right when they open or before they close.

    I would recommend you bring as much as you can to be prepared and avoid having to go back.  I brought the certified copy of the license and definitely needed my old SS card.  Read the requirements online.
