I guess Obama will have to stop traveling, he'll never get a passport now...

Some babies who are born outside of marriage do not have a father listed.

New birth certificate requirement to obtain a US passport, huh. Who’s in charge of the State Department again?

[bill1952]

> the U.S. Department of State will require the full names of the applicant’s parent(s) to be listed on all certified birth certificates to be considered as primary evidence of U.S. citizenship for all passport applicants, regardless of age. Certified birth certificates missing this information will not be acceptable as evidence of citizenship.

Hahaha. THATS gonna create a whole lot of confusion in short order :)

I guess that if you are adopted, it will be real easy to get the names of your birth parents.

Last time I looked, Obama's CoLB fulfilled the new requirements.

Of course, that doesn't mean Madame Secretary of State will not attempt to put the kibosh on his reelection.

So it looks like they are eliminating the original purpose of a birth certificate which was to provide a legal record of an unrelated (to the baby) WITNESS who attests to the circumstances of the birth.

New requirement??? I got a Passport 4 years ago and had to send back to my home town where I was born and get a copy of my long form. They would not except my regular BC that came from the hospital where I was born. So what's this “new” crap?

[FixitGuy]

Gonna be a great market for fake birth certificates!

[wildwood]

The date the certificate was filed with the registrar’s office (must be within one year)

what does this line mean? the birth certificate has to be obtained withinbthe last year?

[a fool in paradise]

My passport expired over a year ago and I will be having to submit to this Obamunist request for “papers please”.

The hypocrisy of The One is naked for all who are paying attention.
