send a photocopy. it's not illegal to make photocopies of your birth certificate. it specifically states an original copy is not necessary for birth certificates. the only original copies that need to be in the application are the option c form and fbi record.

Thanks! I was thinking it was a stupid question but I hated to send it and then have it sent back because I illegally copied a birth certificate LOL
