Q: For lack of time, can I provide a single letter of affidavit of birth from my mother to prove place & date of birth?
A:
The U.S. Department of State has identified which documents are acceptable as birth records, according to such things as the geographical location where a person was born and the date of birth. This takes into account that some nations or regions did not keep regular centralized birth records, some geographical areas had their records destroyed by natural disaster or war, some nations or regions have unconventional ways to maintain birth records, etc. The only way to know which records will be acceptable for you would be to know the geographical location and date of your birth.
