This form is a recently issued birth certificate with the word laser in the lower left hand corner, a perforation across the certificate which leads me to believe that the person “printing” it out has not done this before, and is no proof unless one can determine when that data of the certificate was entered. Since data bases were not used - typewriters were - there should be a paper record containing the doctor hospital etc.

Did the local newspaper list births?

All in all it does not answer if he is a Natural Born Citizen of the USA. I want to see the Kenyan Birth certificate and Indonesian passport.

I just examined the impressed seals on my own families birth certificates, which are from PA and NJ. None of them have the sharpness of the impression of latest FactCheck certificate. They are all much less sharp.

It seems to me that the sharpness of the impression is something that will degrade -- round off and flatten with time and under varying storage conditions. Yet that the extreme sharpness of the impression of the FactCheck cert - and of the folds as well -- indicate that the paper cert in the FactCheck images is of very recent origin.

It seems to me that a thorough forensic analysis would note or include such factors as the sharpness of impressed stamps and folds, and have some baseline metrics made from similar paper over time, under varying storage conditions.

Another area what I imagine to to thorough forensic analysis is the relative ageing of the various inks and dyes used in any printing on paper.

Yet another (totally my fevered swamp imagination here), imagined forensic analysis would do an array analysis on any repeating patterns (such as letter "e", "O", "H" etc) so as to determine the wicking of ink into the paper, and thus be able to determine to some measure the type of ink used.

From that it should be easy to determine if the Cert ID Number (or any of the fields) is printed by the same printer as the rest of the document.
