The embossed seal on mine is so faint, you can hardly see it, but it’s there if you see it in person and look for it.
Want to know a little secret on how to make it show up? Lightly run a pencil over it just to capture the raised edges.
You still don't say if you have a signature that shows the date they filed it.
Question? When did you apply for your official BC? I recently applied for mine in order to get my S.S. Would you believe all those years I never had an official birth certificate in my hands as probably most people don't. I just had my 44 year old daughter apply for hers. Most people just have a hospital certificate, but I don't think they give those out anymore.
