I am looking at the card at present. It reads “South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control Division of Vital Records, Columbia S.C.” it gives date of issue, birth number, name at birth (I am married so name is different now), date of birth, gender, Birth Place “Greenville”, and file date “October 19, 1960” (my birthdate is Sept 28, 1960). At the bottom is a statement that reads “This is a true certification of name and birth facts recorded in this office”. Signed by Commisioner and State registrar, and Director and assistant state registrar. On the back is a 6 digit Control Number. It has the SC state seal, but it is not raised. This was accepted as proof of my birth, and I was issued a passport based on it. There is no other information regarding birth weight, parents, hospital, delivering physician or any other information. My point is if this is sufficient for obtaining a passport as proof of US citizenship, then Obama’s COLB authenticated by Hawaiian officials should be recognized as legal proof. No one can “remember” their birth or can testify for their birth so the state has to do it for them.
