Need some urgent help for filing I-485

[bk123]

Hi everyone,
I need some help from you all. My PD will be current as of June 1st and Iam preparing to file my I-485. I do not have a birth certificate as there is no record of my birth at my hometown municipality. I have two affidavits from my parents and a certificate from the Municipality that my birth is not recorded. But the certificate doesnt have a title such as a Non availability certificate. It just says that "We cannot issue a birth certificate to ......., son of ...........&.........
because there is no official record of his birth on ..........in the Municipal registration records". Then it has the officer's signature and seal of the Municipality. Will this be ok or should I get another certificate with the title "Non Availability Certificate". Thanks a lot in advance.

From the CFR (code of federal regulations): (see instructions on form I-485)


If a required document, such as a birth or marriage certificate, does not exist or cannot be obtained, an applicant or petitioner must demonstrate this and submit secondary evidence, such as church or school records, pertinent to the facts at issue. If secondary evidence also does not exist or cannot be obtained, the applicant or petitioner must demonstrate the unavailability of both the required document and relevant secondary evidence, and submit two or more affidavits, sworn to or affirmed by persons who are not parties to the petition who have direct personal knowledge of the event and circumstances. Secondary evidence must overcome the unavailability of primary evidence, and affidavits must overcome the unavailability of both primary and secondary evidence.
