Birth Certificate - original vs certified copy

Hi,
I have a question regarding the Birth Certificate requirement and what document should I bring with me to the interview.

In a previous stage, when I was sending scans of documents to the KCC, the long form certified copy was sufficient (freshly issued upon request by the municipality in which I was born), but the requirements for the interview state that they want me to provide an original (emphasis theirs). By that do they mean original of the certified copy (as in: not a photocopy) or the original-original issued the once at my birth a few dozen years ago?

I don't think the original-original document exists anywhere. Won't a long-form certificate freshly issued by the state suffice?
