Our DD is being married in August. One of the requirements to be married in the Catholic Church is a RECENTLY ISSUED (within 6 months) Baptismal certificate.
We have DD's original Baptismal certificate and am curious if anyone knows why the original certificate is not allowable to fulfill the Marriage requirement. I don't have a problem getting a copy of DD's Baptismal certificate from the church where she was baptized, but I was just wondering why this needed to be done.
NOT the fact that she needs her Baptismal certificate, but WHY does it need to be "recently issued?"
Does any one know?
