Today, while I was at a business supply store, I decided to get my old paper birth certificate laminated so it wouldn't deteriorate further. The people working decided to wait until after it was done and I had paid to tell me that laminating a birth certificate voids it. FML

Just write a request to the town you were born you'll probably have to pay some kind of fee and get a new notarized copy of the original in the records of the city or county annex (or whatever's similar in Canada) what you did was void out a copy of your real birth certificate that's on file the good thing about this is the redundancy of paperwork there's always a copy squirreled away on file in some government offices file cabinets. I could say you deserved it but I give a little leeway for negligence in this instance.

Huh. Boy, am I glad that a) the laminated rule doesn't apply to us, and b) the process to go through getting a new copy of the certificate isn't so much of a headache.
