Birth Certificate Question

It's been awhile... But I don't remember having to show my birth certificate.

Were you born locally? Go to the court house & get a certified copy.

 

In my belief.... Court documents with a judges signature is the trump card that can & will override everything else....

 

be careful with this, i remember my truck driving school in indiana sent students back home to georgia because they didnt bring the right birth certificate

so no i dont know the answer but find out before you go! dont just assume

 

I think it depends on the state, its regulated by the fed policy...but each state has their own version of the process. I know here in TN, they only accept a birth certificate with all the correct names and it "must" have the embosed state seal or they will not even look at it. We had someone in our class that had to rush around and spend a fortune in Fed-Ex shipments. Most states can get it for you very quickly if you call the proper goverment offices. I remember this guy telling the class it cost him like $250 to get the matter straightened out.

 

I'm STILL having trouble getting mine from NYC - and I applied for it back on July 15th. Thankfully, I was able to make it thru CDL training with my military ID and a copy of my DD-214 along with the receipt from Vitalchek.

I'm gonna be calling the NYCHD again today to talk to someone higher up in the chain - since the three people I've already talked to seemed more concerned on whether my NAME was on my mailbox rather than if they'd printed the right mailing address - or even mailed it at all,

Today marks the 30th business day since I applied, and my local post office says there has been more thqan enough time for it to have arrived AND been sent back - assuming they told the truth about it being mailed out on July 24th.

Do all that you can to secure the document before going for training - directly if possible rather than thru a Clearinghouse such as Vitalchek.

 

If you are near the hospital where you are born, they can print you out a birth certificate right then and there. I got 2 copies in less than 10 minutes.

 

I don't think copies suffice.
