Any document that shows your child lived in another country for an extended period of time would work.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: You said at the beginning that certified copies are accepted, what about notarized copies?[NEWLINE]agent: Notarized copies are not accepted, only originals or certified copies.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: And, what other documents, besides the normally aked ones, I can use as my child's proof of identity?
