I got to one of our embassies only to have it rejected.
Are laminated birth certificates valid.
People do make copies and have the copy laminated.
Had to apply for a re issue.
I would say laminating your social security card and birth certificate is a good way to keep them from getting damaged and is probably a smart thing to do.
They are valid but they don t have to accepted by people requesting them.
Do not ever laminate your certificates birth certificates naturalization certificate or whatever.
For instance the dmv won t accept a laminated birth certificate.
If you need to have it framed like a photo or for storage keep in plastic.
An abstract birth certificate is not the same as an original or certified birth certificate regardless of whether it is accepted as valid identification for purposes other than getting a real id.
After going through lots of stress to get my original birth certificate i quickly laminated it to have it protected.
Neither will the us passport agency.
Any response to my query is highly appreciated.
However see my first comment and it explains why the answer is no you can not laminate either documents.
6 even some embassies and organization are complaining now.
