Exactly. Seems like if he was qualified to get a verification then he was qualified to get verification of the specific things he asked for. Why would they insist that he change what he ask for?
The things he asked for were specifically geared towards verifying that it was a LEGALLY VALID birth record. So why would they balk at verifying that? Could it be because any “verification” they would do would totally rely on a birth index which has specifically been altered to include legally non-valid records?
We need to see what really transpired. If I knew how to request the records I’d request it myself.
