Bureau of Immigration(BI)

Hi. Whenever I travel abroad, I am usually being asked by our immigration officer to show a copy of a Certificate of not the Same person. Unfortunately , I lost the original copy  instead I was only left with photocopy. Is there a way to just request a certified true copy to our bureau of immigration and skip the long process of reapplication?
