applying as a spouse

[PRS]

    I am an American citizen.  I married my husband, a Canadian citizen, this past saturday.  I am just starting to fill out all the necessary paperwork etc.  I have one question.  Do I have to wait until I receive the marriage certificate to apply as a spouse, or can I use my Record of Solemnization of Marriage?  Thanks in advance.

Use the Record of Solemnization of Marriage and state that you will send a copy of the marriage certificate when it is received.
