Copy of foreign certificate sufficient for adjustment of status?

[EternalForeigner 57]

Hello,

 

My friend is married to a U.S. citizen and they're beginning the process of adjusting her status to a green card. Is a scanned copy of her foreign birth certificate enough, or does it have to be certified or notarized in some fashion? 

 

During my own process several years ago (which wasn't through marriage), I only needed to include a printed copy (as well as a translation and a certificate of translation), as per my lawyer. Don't know if anything has changed since then, so I thought to inquire.

 

Thanks in advance!

copy of the original (in  native language ) and a certified English translation are needed

originals may be asked for at interview

I got a copy of my birth certificate through consulate, and had it translated and notarized at the consulate too.

And I submitted both copy of the original in my language and the translated(and notarized) copy of it.

I translated my birth certificate (and attached a certificate of translation that I signed) and it went through without any issues. Didn't notarize it either.
