            The best proof of a ceremonial marriage is the original marriage certificate. If you can not locate your original certificate, the following proofs are acceptable.

A copy of a public record of the marriage certified by the custodian of the record. This record can be secured by contacting the Clerk of the Court in the city or county where the marriage license was obtained or the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the state in which you were married.
	A copy of a religious record of the marriage certified by the custodian of the record. This record can be secured by contacting the church where the marriage took place or the clergy who performed the service.**NOTE**: A marriage license is NOT an acceptable proof of marriage. If no marriage ceremony took place, contact the nearest field office of the RRB.
