Well you can take the copy of the birth certificate from the hospital where you were born so you can easily get the copy of the birth certificate from there. The hospital are generally issue the birth certificate of the child when they are born in the hospital the hospitals register their names in the hospital so you can ask the management to issue you a birth certificate by just checking their records.
