I have them both now. I stand corrected. They are both Certificates of birth. The Hospital one is signed by the administrator, nurse, and board of directors president. It has my footprints on it. This one was denied.
The other certificate was issued by the health dept. and is certified by the health district. It shows Mothers maiden name and place of birth along with Fathers name and place of birth. Both ages are also given. This one was accepted by the State Department
I have two. One I ordered online that is a printoff (with a seal) from the state of OH. Just shows name, birthdate, gender, race and names of parents with state of birth.
I have another one that my mother gave me when I first moved out of the house, that also has a seal, signed by the doctor, shows my weight, length, race, birthdates, birth locations of parents IIRC. Just a tad more information.
