How to submit birth certificate in proof of identity?

Hi! Is Birth Certificate still accepted for proof of identity? I do not have a National ID card due to my country only having recently started filing them, and neither do I have a passport or Driver's License. I'm 19 turning 20 this year and still a student, though I earn money through art commissions and would like to continue transactions via paypal. 

 

If it's still accepted, how do I submit it? Who do I contact to submit it to? I've read a few threads regarding submitting birth certificate + a government issued file but I don't know how to submit it through the Proof of Identity section since there's only 3 options to click through and agents are quite limited in the message center... (sorry if the answer's obvious and I can't see it, I'm still quite lost in the whole process)
