  1. You can only get a certified copy from the Dept. of Vital Statistics of the STATE in which you were born and it will cost you about $10 and if you are smart you will get about 5 of them because you will use all of them over time.


  2. Yes.  The embossed seal from the locale of your birth must appear on the birth certificate copy for the agent to accept it as valid.  If your copy doesn't have an embossed seal, it will not be accepted at the border.
