Birth Certificate and Passport

I need to get my passport for my honeymoon. Unfortunately, I need to send in my birthcertificate for my passport (My FH already did this and has no birth certificate now!)
If I don't have my birth certificate - I can't get my marriage license!
Anyone know what to do? Thanks!

If you were born in nyc go to the dept of health. I did it a month ago.

Ordering a birth certificate copy
Choose a method of ordering and follow the appropriate link below. You will find ordering information and forms to download.

Order over the Internet
Order by fax
Order by telephone
Order by mail

1. Expedite your passport. Mine took 1 week to come, but the usual time is 4 weeks if you pay to have it expedited.

2. Get your passport at the Passport Agency same day. Check the rules - you have to pay a lot more and you may have to do it within 14 days of travel (so closer to your honeymoon)

3. Some passport expediting services will get you your passport within a few days - look into those.

4. Get an additional copy of your BC.

5. Remember, you still need your passport for the honeymoon -- so if you arrange to get your passport back in enough time, you should have enough time to get your marriage license. (They literally send it back in the same envelope together). You can get your marriage license anywhere from 60 days before the wedding to 2 days before. (There's a 24-hour waiting period - to be safe, get it at least 2 days before)
