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.

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.

Obtaining A Legal Birth Certificate?
Although birth certificates are considered a document certifying nationality, many countries including the United States leave official birth recordkeeping up to local jurisdictions. Each state in the U.S. has its own laws regarding legal birth certificates. In some states there is a single bureau of vital statistics that handles all documentation. In other states a local government may have its own vital statistics bureau. Hospitals are often given the responsibility for creating the original document. Obtaining a copy of one's birth certificate usually does not involve a search, as the place and date of birth is known to the individual. Exceptions would include those who were never told their place of birth and individuals who have been legally adopted.Obtaining A Certified CopyThe most common reason for having a certified copy of a birth certificate is to obtain a U.S. Passport. Birth certificates can be requested by providing the full name, date and place of birth to the vital statistics bureau in the state where the birth took place. Most states have an birth records office located in the capital city. Requests may be made in writing or via the Internet. Public records of this type are considered free, however states will charge a processing fee to produce a certified copy. This copy will have a raised, embossed, multi-colored or impressed seal affixed by the registrar. The copy will be as valid as the original. The original document is the property of the state government and cannot be forwarded to the individual.Hospital Certificates And The LawMany hospitals and birthing centers issue a standard certificate when a child is born. These are not legal documents and are usually rejected by the U.S. Passport Office. Many parents keep these certificates and eventually pass them to their child, but the information contained on them is of no legal value.Certificates For Adopted ChildrenPersons who were legally adopted may wish to conduct a search for their birth parents. An original birth certificate would contain the names of the biological mother and father, but most states seal the original certificate at the time the child is placed for adoption. Searching for the original may be a fruitless project. Each state has its own regulations concerning original birth certificates of adopted children. In most cases a revised certificate is issued, showing the correct date of birth but also listing only the adoptive parents. Unless the birth parent gives permission to unseal the document when the child reaches legal age, access to the original certificate may be permanently denied.
Where can you obtain a copy of your own birth certificate?
Birth certificates do not have "samples", being legal documents there is only an original and any certified copies made of it.
