Proof of Marriage, like a Marriage Certificate, is needed if the Tuition Remission benefit is being used by your spouse.  Your agency’s Human Resources Director will verify the proof of marriage and write a description of the proof on the line provided.
Complete Sections I, II, and III.  Section IV is to be filled out by your agency’s Human Resources Director/designee.  Section V is to be completed by your Agency Head/designee.  All sections must be completed for the certificate to be valid.    
Your Human Resources Director will return the authorized signed certificate to you.  Keep a copy for your records.
