I’m not sure if I should request my original birth certificate. I can legally request one where I live, but I also don’t understand the benefit of doing so when my original birth certificate has a blank spot for father, and my mom listed on the original is still on my current birth certificate. I have a black and white copy of my long form original birth certificate, but I know they want color.

I guess I just don’t want to go through the hassle of finding it when it doesn’t seem particularly useful to my application. If the point is to list biological parents, I already have. But I will apply to get an original birth certificate if it’s necessary.
