You are supposed to get your birth certificate back.

Make a new request for it and hope it's not lost in administrative routines. If you'r in emergency needs for a birthj certificate you can get a replacement birth certificate online.
no you definitally need to get that. call someone or something about it.What should i do about my birth certificate is it even legal what they did?
They are supposed to send it back and they will send it back separate from your passport.What should i do about my birth certificate is it even legal what they did?
Is it "legal" what they did??? that doesn't make sense.



Your documents are returned separately. If you do not have your birth certificate contact the passport agency they may be able to put a trace on it.
Ask for it. You should not have given them an original birth certificate; you should have provided a copy. You can order a new one from the archives where you were born.
