I think you are right. It pupports to be an official “copy” from modern tech I guess. I’d still like to see a photocpy of the original. That one really has no compelling reason for Obama not to release it as far as I can tell...and yet he will not.
Many people don’t still have their ‘original’ ones Jeff. My ‘original’ is fancy with the footprint and a gold seal at the top. Those are issued by the hospital you were born in.
They will laugh at you if you try to use one of those to apply for a passport because they are not ‘official’.
FR acting up, this may post twice!
