Abstract (short form) BCs with a raised seal from all states except California and Texas are acceptable with the State Department as primary evidence of U.S. citizenship for passport purposes. Pretty sure if you can use it for a passport, you can play little league with it as well.
*A certified birth certificate has a registrar's raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrarâs signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office, which must be within 1 year of your birth.
Please note, some short (abstract) versions of birth certificates may not be acceptable for passport purposes. Applying for passports
So if I brought my BlackBarry phone down to the post office with a picture of my certification of live birth on it.....I'll be able to get a passport? Cool.

In many states if you lose your original BC and request a new one, a computer-generated "short form" certified with a raised seal is all you'll receive. It is in a format the looks just like the famous "Factcheck" BC. And you can use this BC to get a passport as I did.
