Answer 1

They want to see the original - copies are no good!

Answer 2

Original or certified copy with a raised seal. You can contact the county where you were born to get a certified copy.

If it is a official copy from the state, then that will do. If not, and it is just a photocopy, you will have to send for a offical copy from your birth state. It will cost you a fee and may take a couple of weeks to get.

Answer 7

It can be a copy as long as it has the raised stamp on it - the "embossing" certifies that it's a legit copy. You can request copies from the state you were born in.

Answer 8

They would need to look at the original.

Answer 9

It depends on what state/what other proofs of ID you have. Many states work on a point system, where each form of ID is given a point value. For example, in NJ-where I live- they use the "6 point sytem" described on this website:

Answer 10

they need the original
