Can you travel on a cruise with a certificate of live birth?
It must be a state-issued birth certificate with the state's seal on it. You will also need a government-issued photo ID for anyone over 18. As long as you are a US citizen and you are cruising from and to a US port, you will not need a passport.
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.
What is the importance of a birth certificate?
A Birth Certificate contains date, time and location of birth. It also has the Mothers full name and Fathers full name. Then the Doctor who did the procedure signs his name as proof that the child was born in the United States. --- The information on a birth certificate varies by state, and by whether or not it is a long-form or short-form document. A "Record of Live Birth" is usually issued by the hospital and signed by the health care provider, but this is not the same thing as an official, state-issued birth certificate. Generally speaking, state-issued birth certificates are not signed by doctors but are rather validated/signed/certified by a court or government official.
Is a birth certificate proof of legitimacy?
No, a birth certificate is NOT a proof of your identity: it is basically a proof of where and when you were born. Normally, a birth certificate can be used as a second form of ID, as long as the other form of ID is a picture ID, such as a drivers license, state issued identification card, and/or passport.

Is birth certificate enough for kid travel from Canada to US by car birth certificate in long or short form?
As long as the birth certificate is a certified copy (issued by the state, not a hospital) and includes the parent's names, it will most likely be accepted. In some states (i.e. Florida) the short form already includes the names of the parents. However, some states have short form birth certificates that include very little information. In that case, you will need to order a long form from the state where the birth occurred. For your reference, starting January 1, 2008, you will need a passport to go to Canada.
