Hello. Is the principal applicant's birth certificate a mandatory document for the visa application process? Is there an alternative?

Just follow the instruction guide, document checklist and country specific instructions.

Do you see in your application that a birth certificate is required? If so, and there's no alternative listed...you've answered your own question.

There are many different types of Family Class sponsorships (spouse, partner, dependent child, parent, grandparent, etc.), so it's impossible to know who the PA is in your case.
