Since am also from the Philippines, you can obtain an authenticated birth certificate via telephone though it's more expensive but without any hussle in doing so. Try calling the National Statistics Office (NSO)with this number Country Code plus 027371111 then give all details of your birth such as birthdate, birthplace and parents names. If you have the birth registry number, better if not, then it's still okay. Be sure that you are giving the correct name on your birth certificate. The operator will give you some numbers as your reference code and this will be used when you pay in any Metrobank around or its affiliate bank there. After about a week or so, they will send you the copy through courier service. You can request for several copies if you like since payment is on a per copy basis. Good luck!

Try the adoption agency that handled the adoption. Their must be adoption papers that your parents were given when you were adopted to make it legal. If you were legally adopted then you should be a U.S. citizen and not need a green card. I would definitely start with the adoption company. They may be able to tell you where you were born and that would help confine your search to a smaller area. \n\nBest of luck to you.

Contact the county offices in the county that you were born in. They keep records of them. You have to pay to get a copy but you can get one.

You can get the certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry in the US Embassy / Consulate in the Manila (if that's where you are).  It will cost you US$25 or $50.  Make sure that you bring the required documents (birth certificate of your gf, maybe?), because the wait may be long!\n\nIf you have retained the services of that lawyer, time to get a new lawyer.  Or, with diligence, you can manage this yourself.  Read all application instructions carefully, make checklists, and give yourself plenty of time.  There will be lots of waiting, lots of run-around, and a good bit of spending on fees.  Make multiple copies or request multiple copies (if allowed) of every document you need from each department / office that you deal with in the Philippines.  Organize your files in an accordion folder.  Use sticky notes to tell you what document is what, and what for.  Be very patient.\n\nGood luck.

Birth certificates are not issued by the federal government.  It really depends on what state you are in as to what agency you contact for a birth certificate.  Most likely, you will need to go to a county clerk, which should have a copy of birth records.

The only way to get a certified copy of your birth certificate is to go to the town hall where you were born.  Especially after 9/11 - it's very hard to get copies of anything regarding your identity.  I don't know of any other way.

If you have a valid driver's license you might be able to go to your local social security administration and explain your problem and ask them if they are able to tell you the city you were born in, as that info is likely on your NUMIDENT (the record of your number). They might not be allowed to give that to you, but if you have proper ID and know your mother's maiden name, etc. they just might be able to help you!\n\nOnce you get the city, you could look up the county.

If you were registered as a Canal Zone birth, you can try at Louisiana, as that State law was the one governing the Canal  Zone.\n\nIf you were registered as a Panamanian, you will need to proceed at the Panamanian Civil Register in order to get a birth certificate.\n\nHowever I believe the best place to look for an answer to your question would be the Department of Defense, rather than a branch of it.

Contact the state you live in. They might have a registery for renuon or a medical exchange program. Also ask for your records. They can lead you to the rooght places. If you know the hosiptal you were born at contact that. They too might have a registry .. Definately register and ask for your records. You might get lucky and someone forgets to black out a name or too. Then you can search for that name.\nGo to online sites and post. Search angels look up people all the time and could get a hit for it too. \n\nIn renuion now for 3 months. Myselkf so good luck

The only place I know of to get an original copy of your birth certificate is to go to the city where you born, to the "City of ... " office.

From Pirmasens and Heidelberg I make the assumption that your father was military. So first of all do you have a birth certificate? What is your mother's nationality? When you are born overseas you have to file for a certification of birth with the State Department. This is easily gotten and would have most of the information that you need to get started. If he was military there are ways to find out the basics as well which are too numerous to list here. If you have an idea of where he is from there are things you can do as well. What I'm saying is that you need to give more details. I went through this and it turned out worth it.
