I heard I need my birth certificate and criminal records from the FBI. 1) Do I need to bring my original birth certificate to Paraguay or is a copy ok? 2) I have never heard that the FBI keeps records on everyone. I can get a police report from my local police station. I am not sure if this is what was meant.

This is fresh new info from Migration Office:

Documents from countries abroad, should first be legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of that Country (or similar) and later by the Paraguayan Consulate.

To graph this, for example FBI reports, should be legalized by US State Department, and later by the Paraguayan consulate. It might happen that Pyan Consulate says that the US State Department is not necessary, but Migration Office has a different criteria.
