I keep telling people that the original "vault" long-form birth certificate is beibg withheld from view, and NOT the COLB or the Letter of Verification (and uncertified and unstamped document) -- those are the documents that are a matter of public record.
People who demand to see the original BC will get bupkis. They need to request a Letter of Verification.
thanks for clearing that up, I knew the moment that I pressed SEND I had made a silly comment.
