If applicable.  So if someone was a derivative child. Or if someone was petitioning their parent it may be needed.

We give answers in context here.  This is a spouse visa discussion.  A petitioning spouse provides a birth certificate as one option of evidence of US Citizenship.  Your Mother as petitioner would submit different evidence of citizenship.  In both your case and a spouse case the petitioner's birth certificate is NOT applicable.  "If applicable" is part of the sentence you are reading.

If YOU were petitioning your mother, your birth certificate would be needed as evidence of your relationship to your mother.  We are talking about a spouse case here. Context...
