Reissued birth certifcate from Taiwan acceptable as original birth certificate?

[sanbot 5]

I have gotten my parents to arrange for a reissue of a birth certificate from the hospital I was born in Taiwan.

Will this be accepted as an original birth certificate? Or will I also need to get affidavits from my parents and statement from hospital stating that the original certificate is not available?

Yes,

I did the same thing. Please get your parents to get English translation and get 5 copies from the hospital. You will need about 5-6 copies for various stages of your K1 visa process from petition to AOS to Green Card. So better to have extra than not enough. My parents got me 10 copies just in case. So far they have accepted the re-issue birth certificate.

Hope this helps

Thanks! Did you just provide the birth certificate or did you also do an affidavit? Were you born in Taiwan as well?

Yes, Born in Taiwan. The hospital i was born at is now a different hospital so it was kinda complicated getting it... But I just provided the birth certificate.
