As far as I know, you can obtain as many certified copies of your birth certificate from your birth county’s Office of Vital Records (Click here to find it) as you are willing to pay for. I believe you can also obtain uncertified copies of relatives’ birth certificates (as many as you are willing to pay for). I have experience in ordering 3 copies of my certified birth certificate (1 for me and 1 for each of my parents) at one time in California.

As far as the Social Security card goes, I believe it is the same situation, although I do not remember if I ordered more than one at a time so I cannot say for sure.
