Which birth certificate?

Which birth certificate, old or new?

Old is 24 years old and slightly wrinkly, new is 2 years old and smooth.

Old has the seal pressed in it but I can only see it on the back of the paper,

new one says hold up to light and look for watermark.

Is older issue date better than newer issue date?

Thanks,

BT

The newer one is the same type that I sent a copy in with our I-129F, just make a photo copy both sides, and attach the copy to your I-129F.

Note: Per USCIS

USCIS no longer routinely requires submission of original documents or "certified copies." Instead, ordinary legible photocopies of such documents (including naturalization certificates and alien registration cards) will be acceptable for initial filing and approval of petitions and applications.

At the discretion of the officer, original documents may still be required in individual cases. Please be advised that USCIS no longer returns original documents submitted with the exception of Certificates of Naturalization, Forms I-551, Permanent Resident Card, Forms I-94, Arrival/Departure Document, valid passports, or those specifically requested by the officer. Such documents will be returned when they are no longer needed.

You bring originals with you to the interview, for them to inspect.

I got 4 certified copies from the county admin. office. They were about $18 each, but I wanted no questions. The trip there was the expensive part so I just got them. I'll give one to my fiance for her interview, and have one for future use, and a backup if USCIS loses one.

Just submit a copy of the original or a copy of the certified copy of the original and send with the application. Bring both originals to the interview.

My wife still had the original birth certificate from when she was born, and it was in very very bad condition. We just made a copy of the front and back and submitted it with the I129f application.

Would sending both to my fiance for the interview cause confusion for any officials in Morocco?
