Only documents issued by a county or state with an official seal will qualify as acceptable birth date/legal presence documents. You must provide the original document—photocopies will not be accepted. Examples of these appropriate documents include a U.S. birth certificate, a U.S. passport, an armed forces ID card, a naturalization certificate, or a permanent resident card. Other (but less common) documents include a marriage or domestic partnership certificate, adoption papers containing your legal name, change of name documents (must have your name both before and after legal change), or dissolution of marriage documents.
