Do I have that right? Not worried about the two bucks; just wondered if one was in limbo waiting for a replacement certificate in the mail.
You do not need a new certificate. I've had a lot of address changes, but new certificates only when adding ratings, or when the transition went from paper to plastic.
It's a good idea to record your submission of the address change with a screen shot or print, just so you have the record of having done so, but isn't required. You can certainly get a new certificate sent for a couple of bucks, but you don't have to.
