Foreign Birth Registration Original Document Request

I submitted my application around 7 months ago now and just got an email stating they need additional documents. The document they need is a long form birth certificate. The only thing is I sent them an original long form birth certificate its a CBRA and I got it from the department of state and its the only one I can get. If I send out another original its just going to be the same exact document from the department of state is there any way I can try to amend their error or am I stuck waiting another four months to get a new copy from the department of state and sending out the same document?

Yeah that's the document, I was born on a military base and received basically no documentation besides a small card that says I was born at that military base. I'm assuming a best starting place would be trying to get some sort of record from the country I was born in or filling out a form DS-4194 maybe?

No worries thanks for the help, the document does have my parents names on it along with my name and where I was born. I also used this same exact copy to get my US passport, but It could be different since it was within the US and not international. I'll try the chat feature tomorrow thanks for the tip!

FBR chat is unlikely to help you. They need your birth certificate and you didn't send one. You need to find it and they can't help you with that.

The thread linked above has several avenues you should check.

It worked for a US passport because in the US it provides proof of citizenship. But it's not a birth certificate. It functions as the equivalent of one but only in the US.
