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.

Ask the immigration service here.  They have different documents they recognize sometimes in lieu of a birth certificate or in addition to one.  That will only help for US documents, though.  You need to change or annotate the birth certificate in the Phillipines for Phillipine purposes.

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.

The easist way is to google the county of birth. Once you get that you go to the county recorder's office and request one. I recently done that for a friend and he had his birth certificate inside of 2 weeks. Of course you can always go to state records here:\nhttp://www.idph.state.il.us/vitalrecords/birth.htm

You don't necessarily need to go there to get your birth certificate.  Either online or by calling the vital statistics office they can send you a form you fill out  and send back to them with your payment and they can mail it to you.  Usually takes about 4-6 weeks.\n\nhttp://www.idph.state.il.us/vitalrecords/birth.htm

Birth Certificate can be requested by Capital of the State you were born in.  Write them an email from the state.gov website requesting form & where to send the money for a certified copy of the birth certificate if the original is gone.

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.

The city or county where you were born maintains a birth registry.  You must contact them for a copy of your birth cirtificate with their proper seal.  They do it all the time and can tell you (by phone?) what their procedure and fee are.  A notary public could only identify you (from a driver's license?) and notarize your statement that your copy is authentic and that likely would not be accepted for most purposes.  If you live far away from where you were born, visit your present city or county clerk for advice on how to request a copy of your birth certificate, for example by mail.

I would contact the Mexican Consulate and the city hall of the town where you were born and find out if these records are available - and the costs.  Be patient and prepared to spend some money.  Always keep copies of your correspondance and make your questions in writing.

It sounds as if your actual citizenship, adoption and work status are questionable.  You will need to contact the court or attorney who handled your adoption. They may be able to help you trace your documents in order to get a Guatemalan Birth Certificate.  Many children in the US when adopted are issued new birth certificates listing the adoptive parents as the new birth parents. \n\nIs it possible that your adoptive parents told you that you were legal, when that was not really true? The combination of "lost documents" and the social security card with INS restrictions make it all seem suspicious.\n\nIf you ever once had citizenship then you would not need to "get" citizenship again, though you might need to replace your documents. I would start with a visit to the online US embassy, they have information and contacts regarding gaining citizenship. These contacts may be able to help you work through your paperwork step by step to get your desired result.\n\nYou can visit the local Social Security office and get a new Social Security card issued, though it is likely to still have the INS authorization restriction. \n\nYou may benefit from the services of an immigration attorney.
