I asked a question yesterday and received several good suggestions. After 2 months the passport office is asking for 3 public record forms of ID since my birth certificate name is different from my present name. (married name). My new question is: Do I have to send in the originals? And if I do send originals has anyone ever had them NOT be returned? They now have my original birth certificate. If I send them my marriage license, income tax forms, social security card, or drivers license will I get them back with no problem? Thanks again for the great answers yesterday. I was born in Iowa and lived here 100% of my life.

Only send what they request. Sometimes, sending too much information is not always better.
Never send originals!! There is no garauntee that they will get there and can be lost. Send notarized copies of the originals. They are just as good.
Suggestion--send a copy of your driver's license, marriage certificate and latest tax filing(cover & signature page only).
Good luck.

I got all of my original documents back. I can't swear they've never lost one, but they didn't lose mine.
You have to send certified copies. That is probably what you mean by the 'originals'. You can't send a photocopy.
