Are there any FReepers born in HI in the early 1960’s that have a BC that looks similar to this? I am not much younger than the big O, and my birth certificate looks nothing like this. This looks way too modern to have come from the 1960’s. I was born in another state, though.
I was born in 1962 and mine is black. It looks nothing like this!
I just checked with the all-knowing Mom. Her birth certificate issued in the 1950’s was on plain white paper and had a seal (the kind you apply and then press on); obtaining a copy fifteen years later, she received a certificate on colored paper with no separate seal, stating it was a true copy; and in the 1990’s another requested copy was provided that was printed on “check paper,” or safety paper (like the paper of Obama’s certificate here). This paper was not in use in the 1960’s, but it’s what is commonly used now.
Nothing peculiar about Obama’s certificate except the blacking out of the number.
