New Post 9/11 birth certificate required?

Cool, good info. Yes, I am trying to get my initial CDL through this trucking company.

I actually had 2 copies of my birth certificate that I had found. One was the original from the hospital with no parents names but luckily I had another one issued back in 2004 that has both my parents' names, address, etc. plus has the official seal of the Bureau of Vital Stats. It has a watermark looking background as well.

This has got to be the one you are speaking of so that is awesome news. I was confused as hell for a little while there. I feel much better now.

Awesome. I am in luck. I'm not trying to get a passport just my CDL training. I have this newer copy of the birth certificate. I guess I just didn't really understand what the recruiter was talking about but this all makes much more sense now.


Thanks to everyone for all the info. I feel much better knowing I have the right one.

 

The only thing I found online regarding this was below. If anyone is really bored or just needs some more info, here it is cut and pasted off the site.
