Are Laminated Birth Certificates Valid

6 even some embassies and organization are complaining now.

Are laminated birth certificates valid.

Neither will the us passport agency. For instance the dmv won t accept a laminated birth certificate. If you need to have it framed like a photo or for storage keep in plastic. They are valid but they don t have to accepted by people requesting them.

People do make copies and have the copy laminated. After going through lots of stress to get my original birth certificate i quickly laminated it to have it protected. An abstract birth certificate is not the same as an original or certified birth certificate regardless of whether it is accepted as valid identification for purposes other than getting a real id. And when we went to the post office in buffalo ny we were told that the laminated birth certificate could be refused and the report of birth abroad not certificate only report for child born abroad to on usc couldn t transfer citizenship due to not living in the us for 5 yrs wouldn t support the passport application as it supposed to be a.

I laminated my original birth certificate a few years back due to the ageing paper and i recently obtained copies of the birth certificate which have been issued by the authorities laminated are these accepeted by the embassy. I would say laminating your social security card and birth certificate is a good way to keep them from getting damaged and is probably a smart thing to do. However see my first comment and it explains why the answer is no you can not laminate either documents. Any response to my query is highly appreciated.

I got to one of our embassies only to have it rejected.
