soheil1Why is it?
I was born (where?) at Alavi Hospital.

Obviously, you need a preposition here (at,in) rather than a verb. "is" is a linking verb , which connects a subject to a predicate.

'is'' was a typo.

the problem is 'am '.'was' and why?

Yes, it must be "was" because you were born at some time in the past, so "was" simply reflects that fact. Some other languages, including mine, can use "am" in this particular phrase.
