pish posh! I couldn’t even use an original birth certificate when my minor son got his passport. I had to contact the registrars offfice where he was born and have a certified copy of the LONG form BC issued in order to get it. The passport would not be issued on even an official BC because the parents weren’t listed on it. Not sure if it was due to the fact he was a minor, but the long form was required.
And when I got a passport, I took a copy of my short form that I’d gotten shortly before from the county clerk where I was born and had no trouble at all. While it was from Illinois, it looked pretty much like the Obama birth certificate.
i used a COLB (computer generated) to get all of my children passports, and drivers’ licenses. There were no problems, and they worked just fine. They all have computer generated copies, just like BO, because that is what most states issue now. None of my kids has ever had a “long form birth certificate” only the COLB.
