Birthday certificates look completely different now. 20 bucks at city hall will get you a new one.

I’d have to fly to get back to NJ, if I order a copy using the below website, do you think I’d get a useable copy?

Yes. My mother in law had to during Covid because she was born in hudson county. This was the work around because the office was closed indefinitely in the early days of Covid.

In 2016 I needed a passport relatively quickly (a few weeks maybe...I forget). I went to the office in Manhattan and they processed all my info, took my money and documents, and then told me that since I lived close to the Municipality where by birth certificate was (about 20 minutes from my house) that I needed to get a copy with my parents info and come back to Manhattan to finish the transaction.

However, they told me if I didn't live so close and/or my timeframe for needing it was sooner, they would have given me my passport with what I provided them.

That said, a lot could have changed since 2016...or maybe not.
