Neither will the us passport agency.
Any response to my query is highly appreciated.
After going through lots of stress to get my original birth certificate i quickly laminated it to have it protected.
For instance the dmv won t accept a laminated birth certificate.
Do not ever laminate your certificates birth certificates naturalization certificate or whatever.
They are valid but they don t have to accepted by people requesting them.
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.
People do make copies and have the copy laminated.
Had to apply for a re issue.
If you need to have it framed like a photo or for storage keep in plastic.
I laminated my original birth certificate a few years back due to the ageing paper and i recently obtained copies of the birth certificate which have been issued by the authorities laminated are these accepeted by the embassy.
I got to one of our embassies only to have it rejected.
