I know they did this years ago ( my dad had that on his and he was born in 1924) but didn't know it still was done. What it means is that you didn't give them a name for the baby when it was born. You may be able to add a name on there for a fee from the Hall of records in your area. I do know that it never caused any problems for my dad in his 72 years.
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.

Unassisted birth is legal in all states. Home birthing with a midwife can be illegal in certain states but if you don't have a midwife, it is perfectly legal. -Fellow UC Mama
