Donald Trump made headlines earlier today when he provided what he said was a copy of his birth certificate -- but a quick check reveals it's actually not an official document.
The paper that Trump released says "Jamaica Hospital" on top and lists the date and time of what he says was his birth to "Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Trump." The piece of paper has a seal at the bottom.
But after several New York City-based readers contacted POLITICO's Maggie Haberman, her call to city officials revealed that an actual birth certificate, which is issued by the Department of Health, would have the agency's seal and also a signature of the city registrar - neither of which the Trump document has. Officials said the city Health Department is the "sole issuing authority" of official birth certificates in New York, and that the document would clearly say so, and "city officials said it's not an official document."
It appears instead to be a hospital "certificate of birth," meaning the piece of paper the hospital gave to his family saying he was born. Such a document typically has the signature of the hospital administrator and the attending physician.

He had one like my parents had and gave me. Big gold seal.
It did have the signature of the attending physician though.
Not the official copy kept in the records.
Well done Mr. Trump, well done!

Donald Trump is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.
Was she naturalized when Trump was born?
Nice try, but youre wrong. I have both short and long form BC for myself. Yes, you may request either.
For those who must see a long form, they have the option of voting against a candidate who doesn’t provide one.
He has no intention of running. It's a publicity stunt, with a purpose.
The Donald has flushed Obama out. You watch.
I have always detected the hint of a Kenyan accent.
All he has to do when they claim it isn’t a real BC is say what do you mean??? Crazy like a fox.
Pray for America
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
NO NO NO, that's a Jamaican accent Trump picked up in the hospital...hey mon!
yes. several years before.
The Big Boo
Should I post more, troll?
TOTUS COLBUS
I like the sound of that, thank you.
quit deceiveing you POS you boy Obama is going down
Since the Public Information Officer of the Hawaii Department of Health made the exact statement that I quoted her as having made and since the US Supreme Court has indeed rejected all 13 appeals challenging Obama’s eligibility, there is no deception and I can back up those points easily.
Politico’s Ben Smith is a douche.
“Should I post more, troll?”
LOL
I say yes.
Liar, the only thing you back up to is muzzies while standing on the edge of a cliff.
LOL! What a double-standard.
