No.

A Certification of Live Birth is a short form Birth Certificate. Depending on the state it may say different things but one from Hawaii will say the name, date of birth, hour of birth, sex, city, town or location of birth, island of birth, county of birth, mother's maiden name, mother's race, father's name, father's race, date accepted by registrar, a certificate number and seal. The seal may be different depending on the year it was printed.

A Birth Certificate, or Certificate of life Birth has many more things on it. Which includes signatures, doctor(s), witnesses, and the SSN.

Some employers may or may not accept a short from Birth Certificate, some may not even ask for one, depends how lucky you are ;-)

Yes. Just as an Officer of the Law is the same thing as a Law Officer, a certification of birth is the same thing as a birth certificate. This is true in every state where English is the most common language, which includes Illinois. (And all 49 other U.S. States plus the District of Columbia.)

No. A Certificate of Live Birth (COBA) is issued by the hospital that says you were born alive. A Birth Certificate (BC) is issued by the government to create a Trust in your name. They are two separate documents.

Does the State of Hawaii have two different documents as birth records Certification of Live Birth and Certificate of Live Birth and what is the difference in the two?

In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth is a long form birth certificate. The Certification of Live Birth is the short form birth certificate. The long form contains more information than the short form. The Certification is computer generated utilizing the information from the long form birth certificate. It shows the date the long form was filed. If a Certificate of Live Birth (long form) does not exist, the state of Hawaii will issue a No Record Certification. A short form birth certificate from Hawaii is acceptable proof of birth and citizenship when applying for a US passport, but a short form birth certificate from California or Texas is not.

What does certificate of live birth mean?

A certificate of live birth is you birth certificate that says,"So and So was born alive at Insert Time on Insert Date." ------- That is false. A Certificate of Live Birth is NOT a Birth Certificate. The data from Birth Certificates is transcribed into a computer database and COLBs are generated from that information. While COLBs are generally accepted in lieu of the BC, it is not the same thing.


What is the difference between baptismal certificate and birth certificate?

Many hospitals issue a 'Certificate of Live Birth' or something similar to parents; it has no legal standing. The 'Birth Certificate' is issued by the appropriate legal authority (e.g. registrar or court house) when the birth is officially registered. It is the birth certificate that establishes and records the child's name and identifies the parents. It is normally regarded as a means of identification whereas a hospital certificate would not be accepted for this purpose.


Is a certificate of live birth the same as a birth certificate?

Yes. In the United States there are some 14,000 different forms of birth certificates depending on where and when you were born. These certificates are all called "birth certificates" in common usage, but are frequently titled other ways such as "Certificate of Birth," "Certificate of Live Birth," "Birth Record," "Certification of Birth," "Birth Registration Notice," etc. As long as it is certified by the State that issued it then it is legally a birth certificate. Hospitals often offer souvenir certificates that contain the baby's footprints and other information, but these hospital certificates carry no legal weight and are not sufficient to get a drivers license or passport with. Only state issued and certified certified birth certificates carry any legal weight in the United States. ------- Maybe. If the Certificate of Live Birth originated in a hospital or governmental agency charged with recording births, then it would be the same. More often, however, a Certificate of Live Birth is NOT a Birth Certificate. The data from Birth Certificates or other documents generally prepared by hospitals but also from other governmental bodies is transcribed into a computer database and COLBs are generated from that information. While COLBs are generally accepted in lieu of the BC, it is not always the same thing.

How can you obtain a Certificate of Live Birth?

A Certificate of Live Birth is the same thing as a birth certificate. These are produced by the states, unless it is a certificate of live birth that is obtained from an official of a foreign government as proof of the US citizenship of a newborn when a US citizen gives birth outside the US. Some states will also provide this as a shortened version of another document called the long form birth certificate. It just use it to means the same thing in different words. If you contact your state's office of vital records they can likely tell you the process to get a copy of the "long form" if all you have is the short version and you need the additional detail or they can give you the information on how to obtain one.Prior to the invention of copy machines clerks typed up new birth certificates by hand, usually, based on information provided by the souvenir hospital certificate which has no legal standing on it's own, then certified the typed copy this creating a legal certified birth certificate. When the copy machine was invented it became common practice to simply copy the souvenir hospital certificate and certify that, thus also making a legal certified birth certificate. Now in the computer age when everything is computerized it is common practice to print out a form with the necessary information and certify that. All of them are valid, legal, certified birth certificates except the original hospital certificate which has not been certified by the issuing state.
