AKC registration, cant find puppy papers?

I just started getting my dog into sports and wanted to register with AKC so we can compete- I am 3 years late on this. The problem is, I cannot find the the papers with the registration number my breeder gave me. I have been trying to get in contact with my breeder but I only have her facebook and e-mail which haven't been successful in reaching her. Am I screwed? :(
