>>>he must have produced a Birth Certificate at the time of his Marriage to Michelle and that copy must be on Record in Chicago

I did have to show my birth certificate when I was married. The rules for that vary by state since each state writes their own requirements for issuing the marriage license. There is such a misunderstanding about the requirements for a US Passport, he could have used his passport. Many don’t realize you don’t need a birth certificate to get it. So that could have been human error.

In one of life's little ironies, recently I needed to sign a notarized authorization to get a certified copy of my birth certificate.

The notary would not accept my passport as ID...
