Let's say I lost my birth certificate....

If I called the state where I was born and requested another one, would that still be considered and original? Or would I be doomed for the rest of eternity because the original will be the only original?

I read something about you being able to copy all pages of your passport. Do they have a preference?

Help!

Thanks for the reply! Would a certified copy work as my "original" birth certificate for the K1/1-129F?

I had my purse stolen once with my birth certificate in it (yes, stupid move on my part!) I ordered a new "original birth certificate". But for the NVC I ordered a certified copy of my birth certificate online.

Good luck!

You will need to call the town office of the actual town you were born in, and ask them for a certified copy. Different states have different rules on it and might require different info from you at that point. I did have to do this once and it was surprisingly easy...but I was also within driving distance of the town I was born in, so I was able to do it in person.

Good luck!
