Sending $US to the US

[Christopher Taranto]

Hi Ovid,

I am also living in London and needed to get my marriage certificate to
get our residency permit extended from the initial six months.  I used a
service that would pull government documents for most of the states.

I was able to use my credit card so it was easy and my marriage
certificates arrived in a few weeks.

Unfortunately, I am in Kiev until Thursday so I don't have access to my
email to look up the service I used - but I will send it to you when I am
back in London.  Maybe this might be a way for you to go.

Regards,

Christopher Taranto
