Since when is this not a birth Certificate.... went to the RMV for the
2nd time today, and the lady said it wasnt the right one... me and my dad just kept saying to ourselves... wtf, over and over again...




RMV:rocketem: :rocketem: :rocketem: :rocketem:

Jeeze... it says BIRTH CERTIFICATE right on it!?!?

Now it's my turn


WTF!?!?

As long as its not a duplicate I would say "supervisor please".

There are two types of birth certificates---the one issued by the hospital where you're born, and the one issued a few weeks later by the town when they get the birth info from the hospital. RMV wants the one issued by a government agency, not a hospital. That's the only one that'll get acepted by almost any government agency as an "official" birth certificate. Even if it's a municipal hospital, the one issued by a hospital isn't official.

Go to the department of municipal government in Fall River that issues them. You'll need one signed by a registrar and embossed with the official seal of the City of Fall River.

What Mike P said -

My parents had planned a big family trip last year in the Bahamas. They purchased the flights for everyone and told us all to make sure we had the right BC. Not the one issued from the hospital. Needless to say, my sister showed up with the hospital one. She was not allowed on the plane.

As an aside to this, I believe it's going to be the law next year that you must have a US passport to enter the country...

The old days of travel to Canada and Mexico on a BC or Drivers License and Social Security Card are at their end...if not already.

December 2006 you will required to carry a passport between Mexico and Canada.

There are countries from what I'm told indicate information such as marriage status information on the BCs. Maybe the USA can impliment the same idea. This would prevent fraud such as people that collect assistance from different states and cleaner method to track ones life as it may go

I guess you convinced your mom to get your permit.....:D

I just don't get the difference between the 2, it says it right on the top of it huge letters, it says i was born in America.. I'm not some terrorist... But they want the one that could be forged.... so i get to wait a whole 'nother week..

Katie, You need to go to the town hall (in the town you were born in) and request a copy of your birth certificate. That is the only version the DMV will accept.

Yeah, were gonna go on thursday to get it.. but my dad cracked the joke to the lady.. But she was born in "Pennsylvania" he lady paused, said oh well.

You'll catch hell if you're not carryng a passport now.

Get it done with, it makes life much easier.

A year ago my wife, son and stepson all went to Mexico for a week. Coming back into the country I was the only one in the group to have a passport...the kids had birth certificates and my wife just had a BC and her drivers license, which indicated different middle names.

The US border agent looked at my passport only and ushered us through...didn't take one look at any of the other documentation.

Granted, we're not exactly in the high risk catagory...but still...

relax katie: a week is a small amount of time to wait...

it just seems long now because your anxious to begin driving...

so your mind makes it seem like an eternity...
better to do something different
to make the time pass quicker
than think about it.
