You will need to contact your country of origin to get a copy of it. If you have family there, ask them to obtain a copy from the registrar there. You will need to get a copy of it to submit with the your I 485 ( adjustment of status paperwork) you will need to do it asap because the fees increase dramatically as of July 30, 2007. Fees will go from $325 to $1,010

It is getting difficult to obtain your own birth certificate. The Vital Records Sections of the states' Departments of Health demand to see your drivers' license. Contrawise, the states' Divisions of Motor Vehicles demand to see your birth certificate before they'll replace a lost or stolen driver's license. If by some chance you have lost both your driver's license AND your birth certificate, and you don't have a passport, then you are locked out of your documents. I've been told that you'd need a court order to get yourself redocumented once that happens.

The only sensible answer comes from thequeenreigns, who has astutely observed that you cannot possibly be seeking a US birth certificate if you are filling in an I-485.

Every country is different in which local authority handles this. The US reciprocity tables sometimes list the appropriate authority. click link, click the first letter of your country's name and scroll to the birth certificate paragraph. It may provide the address of the authority.
Good luck

Your parents need to provide an affidavit swearing when you were born etc. If possible, you will have to get a letter from the govt stating that records are not available. Also, provide all secondary birth records such as school records, Church records etc.

If you were born in the US you simply need to contact your state department of vital statistics and records. There will be a cost. Some states such things are handled by the counties. They can advise you.

where are you from and where you were born?
In US, you can get a birth certicate from the Vital Record office in the city you were born. If you were born abroad, contact the vital record office in that city; or a law firm in that city and they can help you out. Also the corresponding foreign consulate, can help you with that.

each state has an office of vital information. Of course they may call it something different in you state. Try you state information number, they can point you in the right direction or use Yahoo search.
