Evidence Questions

I read that the petitioner is supposed to make a copy of the front & BACK of their birth certificate but the back of my birth certificate is just plain white so it would be a blank piece of paper..so does this mean I do not need to make a copy of the back? Also I have a passport card instead of the book, it looks like an id, do I need to make a copy of the back of that or is just the front fine?

Some get an rfe for sending the front only. Just send the back, it's not a lot of work anyway

The instructions for the I-129F no longer state you need a copy of the back of your birth certificate.  Nor does it state to make a copy of the back of the passport card .. but in this case there is more data on the back of the passport card so I would tend to make a copy of that side also

you dont need to make copy of the back. i sent the front only and i was fine. Like Hank said, if there is something on the back than ok make copies, otherwise a blank piece of paper is useless and a waste.
