A Certificate of Live Birth, the long form BC, is not proof of when and where the parents were born. It would be useless for what you are claiming the DoH wants it for.
“A Certificate of Live Birth, the long form BC, is not proof of when and where the parents were born.”
My long form BC says where my parents were born, although it does not say when. However, I’m guessing that info was entered based on my parents’ testimony, not on their showing their own BCs when I was born.
I do believe that BO’s original BC should be brought into discovery, for two reasons. One, there is no reason to believe something on the internet is factual, and two, the long form will provide additional information which may be important.
I see people on these threads arguing that the internet COLB proves something. But their entire argument rests on the assumption that what is on the internet is valid and not a forgery. To repeat - their argument rests on an assumption. Therefore, IMO, we can’t spend too much time on their argument, because the logic or illogic of it is all hypothetical, as long as it rests on an assumption.
