Will a conditional resident need their original birth certificate in the US for any paperwork?

Does the I-751/N-400 require it like the NVC and interview of the CR-1 visa does? 
 

And any other institution in the US that I’m not thinking of?

A copy suffice. Have one saved in your email

If you ever petition a family member for a green card you will need the original. 
 

I’ve seen some spiral based N-400 cases where the citizen spouse, despite not being born in the USA was required to provide a foreign birth certificate. Weird. 
 

Until 5 years, I always had to have my Canadian birth certificate to renew my Canadian passport. 
 

I would get it. Years ago my province moved away wallet size BCs and I went through great effort to get the full sized BC.  I will likely need to get my kids their Canadian certificates of citizenship

But my question is if I will ever need it with me in the US. Will I?

Asked and answered. I will rephrase my answer  in the form of questions:

 

1. Will  you petition  anyone for an immigration benefit?

 

2. Will you ever renew your passport from your country of origin?

Why would you need a foreign birth certificate for a drivers license or SSN?
