You need certified copies from the State, County or whereever it's recorded. Ornamental hospital copies notarized or not aren't acceptable.

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!

Can't you send a photo copy of your certified birth certificate? I don't think an original is required.

For filing the petition, a photocopy of a certified copy is fine. It's best practice for the beneficiary to have an original certified copy on hand in case the VO wants to inspect it at interview.

A US Notary is irrelevant to any birth certificate for immigration purposes.

It actually annoyed me that I had to provide my birth certificate for the consulate at the fiance visa interview. In my logical mind, just the fact that my fiance was having an interview meant that I had already proved I was a US citizen. One must provide that proof with the initial I-129F submission, why must it be done again? But logical and immigration is an oxymoron. I went through the waiver process too and we had to provide the same information over and over again. She said her file was about 6 inches high.

Thanks you guys. He does have a copy of my original birth certificate. But I will get a copy certified by the court this week. I will send him that original stamped copy (if that makes sense). That way it's not so risky.
