SAMPLE AFFIDAVIT OF BIRTH
--------------------------------------------------
U.S. laws require submission of copies of birth certificate given by the LOCAL GOVERNMENT/municipality of the city, town or village where an applicant was born. Please note, school certificates, baptismal certificates, or certificates from hospital where an applicant was born are not sufficient. The birth certificate must be issued by the local government.
If the local government has no record of the birth, then a Certificate of Non-Availability must be obtained. A Certificate of Non-Availability is a statement from the local government/municipality stating that there is no record of the birth. In addition to the Certificate of Non-availability, two Affidavits of Birth from persons with knowledge of the birth; parents, relatives or friends who were adults when the applicant was born must be submitted. NOTE: Applicant's parents may submit the affidavits. An Affidavit is a statement under oath and need NOT be notarized provided the Affidavit contains a signed self-attestation clause.
