However see my first comment and it explains why the answer is no you can not laminate either documents.
Are laminated birth certificates valid.
6 even some embassies and organization are complaining now.
If you need to have it framed like a photo or for storage keep in plastic.
I got to one of our embassies only to have it rejected.
Had to apply for a re issue.
I laminated my original birth certificate a few years back due to the ageing paper and i recently obtained copies of the birth certificate which have been issued by the authorities laminated are these accepeted by the embassy.
They are valid but they don t have to accepted by people requesting them.
People do make copies and have the copy laminated.
Any response to my query is highly appreciated.
Do not ever laminate your certificates birth certificates naturalization certificate or whatever.
An abstract birth certificate is not the same as an original or certified birth certificate regardless of whether it is accepted as valid identification for purposes other than getting a real id.
I would say laminating your social security card and birth certificate is a good way to keep them from getting damaged and is probably a smart thing to do.
For instance the dmv won t accept a laminated birth certificate.
It would be unacceptable by embassies and schools hospitals etc that are up to international standard practices.
