Iowa Marriage Certified Copy Request is an official document used to verify an individual’s marriage. This document is requested when an individual needs to prove their marital status for legal purposes such as name changes and insurance benefits. There are two types of Iowa Marriage Certified Copy Request: a certified copy of the marriage license, which is issued by the clerk of the county where the marriage took place; and a certified copy of the marriage certificate, which is issued by the Iowa Department of Public Health. Both types of documents must be certified by the issuing authority before they can be used as legal evidence of marriage.
