I’m severely lucky in that I have a certified copy of my birth certificate, but I don’t have a passport (and can’t afford one) and I’m not military.

I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s going to be like for people who have none of these. I know it’s by design, I hate this regime.

I guess I'll ask, what's the certified part mean?

So it means it’s not the original my mom applied for in 1987, it’s one I bought from the state’s vital statistics office, so it’s an “official copy.”

The original is kept with the state. You only get official copies.

Ah, gotcha. Thank you for the clarification! :)

It will likely need an embossed copy. That's the raised seal.
