There are differences in the way the different states do things. No doubt what Florida believes sufficient is not sufficient in more advanced parts of the country.
Here's a clue for you ~ no matter what kind of document you might concoct and claim as an "original birth certificate" it will not be recognized as valid if no one bothered to REPORT your birth to the appropriate authorities at or near your time of birth.
Further, if you should lose what you believe to be the "original", you can still obtain verification of your having been born in the US from the state.
The "report" or "document" believed by the government is the only one that counts.

As usual, I have no idea what you're talking about -- especially since Florida's procedures are no different than New York State (which I assume are quite as "advanced" as Indiana). When a child is born in a hospital, the event is recorded on a form, with the birth mother supplying the information as to parentage, addresses of parents and name of child, and the hospital supplying information such as birth weight, time of birth, attending physician, etc. The form is submitted to the Department of Health, and the data from that form input into a computer system. The original form is then microfilmed, or more recently, digitized, and stored.

That has nothing to do with your statement that there is "no such thing as an original birth certificate." It's a red herring.
Further, if you should lose what you believe to be the "original", you can still obtain verification of your having been born in the US from the state.
Of course you can. I never said you couldn't.
The "report" or "document" believed by the government is the only one that counts.
Again, why do you bring that up? I was contesting your statement that "there is no such thing as an original birth certificate."
The answer: "A Long Form is a certified 8.5” X 11” photo copy of the original birth certificate."
