The word COPY in respect of a Birth Certificate means PHOTO-COPY and NO, you’ll need the original COPY of your Birth Certificate. You have a COPY of your Birth Certificate – the ORIGINAL is held at the office of the REGISTRAR of the town/city where you were born. Just to make sure – you need your actual birth cert and not a photocopy.

All any one ever gets is a certified copy of their birth certificate, the original remains with the issuing office. Just suppose the original was lost in the mail, or you lost it at home, there would be no way for you to ever get a certified copy again.
