How do I obtain a copy of my final judgment from my adoption or emancipation case to get a new birth certificate, a passport or to get a Social Security card?
If the judge approves, the petitioner receives a certified copy of the judgment or a Gold Certificate. A Gold Certificate may be used in lieu of a final judgment to get a social security card or a passport. If it is a foreign adoption the Social Security Administration may require additional documentation for citizenship purposes (passport, naturalization papers, etc.). Contact the Social Security Administration.
