anybody get their marriage certificate of registration from the NYC office?
We finally got ours in the mail last week and it doesn't have a raised seal...I asked Pastor April and she says maybe the city does things differently?
anybody got theirs from the city? I wanna start changing my namee
ETA: did everyone go to the social security office of have some of you just mailed in the application and the original documents?
i'm filling the application now and I don't know how comfortable i am mailling all my docs...

I got my marriage certificate from NYC and we don't have a raised seal either. I already went to the SS office and DMV (both in Nassau) to change my name and neither of them had a problem with it.

I just got mine. It has no raised seal.
If you look on the lower left corner it says something like 'facsimile seal and signature provided under provision 34e32763285 of code 3857348563' or something,
The guy who 'signs' the NYC marriage licenses is one of my BILs best friends, so I think that's kind of cool that his sig is on my marriage lic

Atleast the jersey one is thicker! I didn't know you moved to Jersey...I used to live there for almost 2 years. Only annoying part was the monthly ez-pass fees. Ugh.

Re: Additional question regarding name change
I went to the SS office. According to their website, you HAVE to go in person. Now, I don't know how accurate that is since I know a couple 2010 brides mailed everything in and it worked out just fine, but I went down to the office to be sure. I haven't changed my name on my license or my passport yet though.
