He will need the official birth certificate. He needs to get a certified copy if the original has been destroyed. Good luck!

He should be able to get an official (certified and embossed) copy of his birth certificate from whatever they call the organization that maintains them in the state he was born in. It's usually called the Bureau of Vital Statistics, Bureau of Records or some such. A quick Google search should find out where to get it for where ever he happened to be born. Alternatively, there are expediters, many online who will obtain it for him for a fee.

Was he born in America or is he naturalized? Why doesn't he have one? If he was born here he should be able to obtain a copy. If he can't, USCIS lists on their site what can be substituted.
