Darrell, when I applied for SS disability they insisted that I send the original birth certificate and would not accept a copy.
I am not exacty sure what a certified copy is, but I suspect it would require a signature from someone that confirms that is really your birth certificate.
I can think of two options that might be the same thing and that is having a notary public witness yout signature and then he signs and stamps the document. The other possability is guaranting your signature, which is similar to having it notarized.
Go to your bank or a branch where you have an account and, if I was correct, they will do it free of charge. Bruce
