I think we are on the same page here, I realize that my certificate is NOT the original, vault copy, or even a certified copy of the vault copy.
It is, however, a Birth Certificate that I used to obtain my passport.

I meant no offense and was not sure you understood what you possess.

Thank you for the exchange.

Are you talking about the Certificate that the hospitals used to give to parents. The one with the foot print and all? If so I don't know how you got a passport by using that one, as my daughter was under the impression that was her birth certificate and tried to get her passport with it, and no way would they accept it. She had to go get a certified copy of her birth certificate before they would issue her a passport.
