A long-form birth certificate usually contains more information than a standard birth certificate. A standard birth certificate is sometimes only an abstract of the information contained in the original filing. The long form may be a photocopy of the original filing on special paper. The long form may contain such additional details such as the name of the doctor that delivered you, the exact time of birth, the address(es) and occupations of the parents, whether this is the mother's first child, where the parents were born, the name and location of the hospital where the child was born.

Do you need a short or long form birth certificate to cruise out of the US?

Not all states have long/short forms, but you do need a passport and to get that you have to have a birth certificate. As long as it is from the state where you were born it doesn't matter the length of the form.

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.


Why has Obama not shown his birth certificate?

During the 2008 presidential race, the Obama campaign released a shorter version of his birth certificate that was authorized by Hawaii. It is a valid, legal, state-certified birth certificate and is the only kind HI usually gives. On April 27, 2011, President Obama and the White House released the long-form version of his Hawaii birth certificate. The state usually does not release this version, but the president received a waiver after a request from his attorneys. The long-form birth certificate includes more information than the short form, including the name of the Honolulu hospital where Obama was born and the name of the attending physician.


Where is Barack Obama's birth record?

It is on file in Honolulu, Hawaii, where it has repeatedly been verified by governors, mayors, new organizations, and fact-checkers. Unfortunately, a group of people called "Birthers" refuse to accept the fact that Mr. Obama was born in the United States. However, his birth certificate (both certificate of live birth and long-form) have been posted online and I enclose a link to the White House website, one of many where the long-form birth certificate is posted.


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.


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.
