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.

Is a certification of live birth the same thing as a birth certificate in illinois?
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 ;-)
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.
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 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 in Florida A friend may be adopted?
In Florida, a "certificate of live birth" is the original certificate completed at the time of the child's birth. It is prepared by the hospital and includes the signatures of at least one of the parents and usually the physician or another witness to the birth. Once the "certificate of live birth" has been completed, it is sent to the Florida Office of Vital Statistics, who files the document and issues certified copies when requested. When ordering a Florida birth certificate, you can ask for a "photocopy certificate" - which is an exact photocopy of the original "certificate of live birth". They can only be ordered from the state office in Jacksonville, since that is where the actual certificate is stored. A "Certification of Birth" also known as a "computer copy" is a document issued by the Florida Office of Vital Statistics that only includes some of the information from the original "certificate of live birth". It usually states only the name, sex, date of birth, place of birth, parents' names, and the state file number. These types of birth certificates are cheaper and can be purchased from any Vital Statistics office in the state of Florida (and each county has one). Now for adopted persons, the policy is different. When the child is born, their birth certificate is completed like normal. However, once the child is adopted, the state of Florida creates a NEW "certificate of live birth" that shows the child's adoptive name and the names of the adoptive parents. The original "certificate of live birth" containing the names of the original parents is "sealed", meaning that it is locked up and can never be opened again without a court order. So, when an adopted person orders a birth certificate - whether it's a "photocopy" ("certificate of live birth") or "computer copy" ("certification of birth"), it will only show the adoptive name of the child and the names of the adoptive parents.
