A certified copy means that the court verified the document, which may be necessary if you're presenting your divorce decree for a legal reason, such as a new marriage. You may also request a copy of your divorce decree from the state or local vital records department where you divorced.
What is the difference between a certified copy and marriage certificate? A certified copy is the official document of your marriage with a raised seal. A marriage certificate, or your pink copy, is not a legal document.
A marriage license legally allows you to marry. A marriage certificate proves you got married. How you get copies depends on whether you were married in the U.S. or abroad.
For the 1 day turnaround option, you can go to the courthouse (Ohio residents to to their county, non-residents go to the county the ceremony is in), I'll sign paperwork as soon as we meet up, and give you back everything to take directly in to the courthouse.
