Yes, you should have one. Especially in todays current situation, a valid birth certificate is more important than ever. You should check to determine if the COLB (Certificate Of Live Birth) was recorded in the jurisdiction where you were born. Generally the COLB is presented to, and recorded by, the vital records office which then issues the certificate.

What states issue a certificate of live birth as opposed to a birth certificate?
All states issue birth certificates. Usually it is the medical facilities where the child is actually born that issue the 'certificates of live birth.' The parent(s) must then take this 'certificate of live birth' to the city or county office which issues the official birth certificates. Present the certificate of live birth, and the government office will issue a birth certificate based on the hospital's certification. (confused enough?) ------------------ With all due respect, medical facilities almost invariably issue birth certificates and it is they, not the parents, who interface with the agency that officially records births, deaths, marriages, etc. and it is the State that issues certified documents to parents, schools, etc. including Certificates of Live Birth (COLB). A COLB can not be generated until the data from the original Birth Certificate is transcribed into a database in a computer and it is from that information that the COLB is generated, printed and certified. It is my understanding that virtually all states will provide certified photocopies of the original birth certificate upon request and the payment of a fee. I know of none that will not.
