no not illegal to do it you just can't use a photocopy as a valid form of ID.  usually places need copies along with other forms of ID for there records or when you get a job.  Although i never had a job ask for a Birth Certificate

The county clerk's office can issue certified copies of a birth certificate.  I'm not sure exactly what form of identification is required, but I assume it will be at least a social security card.  I believe there's also a charge which varies from county to county.

No it's illegal!  I worked @ a doctor's office and we used to copy the cash payments as sort of a receipt.  We had a patient who was a police officer and he said that it was illegal.  It's not something that you call and tell the police about though.  I mean lots of places of business do it.  If someone wanted to be picky they could call, but that would be pretty mean, unless you hate them- go ahead.

Go to the courthouse of appropriate jurisdication and ask for a copy of the file relating to your case(s). \n\nIf you were only a party to the case, or if the case involved a minor, you may have diffucuty obtaining a copy without third party consent.\n\nIn most cases though, court files are public documents. There may be a cost for photocopies.

Certainly not in the virginioa state. However, you may be asked to paste your photograph and fingerprints if you could not read and write or any court has debarred you from signing the legal document due to any disease.

You can only get copies of birth/death certificates from  the Office of Vital Statistics for your state.\n\nFor Texas look here: http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/vs/reqproc/certified_copy.shtm\n\nSeems the cheapest is $22.00

No.  Not yet.  It is helpful. \n When you do send for your passport you must give up your birth certificate (they mail it back to you) so you might want to order a new one so you will at least have that and a drivers lic when you cross the border.  It takes several weeks to get a passport.  A certified copy of your birth certificate can be ordered from the county health department in which you were born.\n\nYou can get your passport photo taken at Walmart for a small fee.  You cannot use a pic you took of yourself, it is not ont he right kind of paper.

In the state of Minnesota, our title company prefers blue ink so they can tell the original from a copy and I really doubt that blue ink makes it not recordable in any state.  I'm not a lawyer, though.  I really, really doubt the ink color makes a difference anywhere.

You can find out how to do it by contacting the jurisdiction in wich you where born.(Birth certificates are considered part of the public record and most coommunities keep records of births nearly forever.) \nYou can also contact the Candian embassy in the U.S. and they I am sure can help you.

Most states have laws that state you have legal rights to your own medical records but almost all of them also say that the institution can charge you for the copies,etc. Sorry your just SOL

Depends on the state, but the state bureau of vital statistics will probably accept a driver's license or similar ID to request a birth certificate. There is probably a written request form, and a fee.  I have to get birth/death certificates occasionally, even for other people, and it is fairly easy (if slow) to obtain them.  I've had to ID myself, but not with an SS card.  Good luck!

It is not against the law to photocopy money.  Unless you plan on trying to use it, that is as you know, counterfeiting.\n\nMy suggestion is that if you are going to photocopy the fronts and backs do it on separate sheets of paper or do it on black and white so there can be no "misunderstanding".\n\nThe treasury dept has rules about color copying, http://www.moneyfactory.gov/newmoney/main.cfm/currency/regulations.
