No, a birth certificate is NOT a proof of your identity: it is basically a proof of where and when you were born. Normally, a birth certificate can be used as a second form of ID, as long as the other form of ID is a picture ID, such as a drivers license, state issued identification card, and/or passport.

no not that i know of and yes you do need your birth certificate because how would you know if they were born in the USA or not. Because you can ask the person and they could lie to you and you wouldn't even know it. And a birth certificate doesn't lie on where you were born cause where you were born that's where you were born, you can't change it.

Not necessarily. A passport or naturalization certificate is generally sufficient.
