Effective immediately California birth abstracts such as the one shown below are not acceptable for proof of citizenship. Computer programming used in creating these birth abstracts shows the county of issue as the place of birth even if the person was born in a foreign country. Because of this California birth abstracts are not acceptable as proof of birth in the US.

Sounds like the reason why is a computer screw-up by California places their accuracy in question. If they correct the problem then will the feds allow them again?
