Notarized copy of long birth certificate

I apologize in advance as I know this has been asked before but I just searched and couldn't find a clear answer.

For the DS-230, will NVC NOT accept a notarized copy of a birth certificate?

For everything else, I'm submitting originals (PCC) or have a certified copy (marriage cert).

Also, just to be clear, the passport page just has to be a photocopy (not a notarized or certified copy) of the photo page?

Again, sorry to ask something that has probably been answered before.

When you say 'notarized' - you mean a photocopy that you then take to a notary and have them verify that it is a exact photocopy of an original? If so, then no, that is not going to be accepted.

Passport page, yes, they just want a photocopy.

Yes, that is what I meant. Thanks for responding!
