Passport - Original Birth Certificate?!

Do you need to send your ORIGINAL birth certificate when you apply for a passport?

Or do you make a photo copy? Or do you request another copy from vital records (?) and send that one?!

I've been slacking on this and need to get it taken care of asap - wedding is in 4 months!

You have to submit your original birth certificate. It will be safe...you'll get it back!

its a raised seal/watermark that makes it real.
Yes...go to the town hall in which you were born in.
