I answered your question, You asked if I had a hard copy birth certificate.
My mother gave it to me. It is signed by my parents, doctor and medical staff that were present when I was born. It was issued by the hospital where I was born. It has an official seal, and yes, I have used it to provide proof of live birth.
It includes birth data missing on the Hawaiian long form issued by the Hawaii DoH. It is interesting that it is unacceptable for you. The State where I live accepted it when I got my driver's license. When I got my passport, it was accepted by a federal agency that issues passports. Who are you to question it's validity and call it a "souvenir" and then mock me? Typical of you anti-birthers. It is more than Obama has produced for proof.
Most hospitals in the U.S. issue a souvenir birth certificate which typically includes the footprints of the newborn. However, these birth certificates are not legally accepted as proof of age or citizenship, and are frequently rejected by the Bureau of Consular Affairs during passport applications. Many Americans believe the souvenir records to be their official birth certificates, when in reality they hold little legal value.[25]

If you do not have a previous U.S. passport or a certified birth certificate, you will need:
1. Letter of "No Record" issued by the State with your name, date of birth, which years were searched for a birth record and that there is no birth certificate on file for you and
2.As many of the following as possible:
•baptismal certificate
•hospital birth certificate
•census record
•early school record
•family bible record
•doctor's record of post-natal care
Note: These documents must be early public records showing the date and place of birth, preferably created within the first five years of your life. You may also submit an Affidavit of Birth, form DS-10, from an older blood relative (i.e. parent, aunt, uncle, sibling) who has personal knowledge of your birth. It must be notarized or have the seal and signature of the acceptance agent.

a long shot possibility for "infrequent acceptance" would be this.

You were issued a United States passport with the baby foot paper? That is correct?
Originally posted by ontarff
I may be mistaken which birth certificate was used for the passport. I am not intentionally lying as accused by another rude anti-birther on this site.
A hospital birth certificate is not referred to as "baby foot paper".
I probably used my certified copy for the passport.
I took both. However, my intent was to simply answer your question as to original hard copy records. The hospital birth certificate was used when I obtained my driver's licence. Would you agree that State requirements may have changed since then? The document can be corroborated as factual. That is the point.
So no, that souvenir will not be accepted without a letter of "No Record."
Think about that for a bit. If Ontarff has his birth certificate, which is the hospital one listed above, then there would be no letter of "No Record." but since it is listed here as accepted once that step is exhausted, you just proved Ontarff is lying.
they say "frequently rejected" not "always" or "never accepted".....

www.imdb.com...
The character Mr. Ed originated in a series of magazine stories. Not only did the horse talk, he got drunk.
The original name of the horse that played Mr. Ed was Bamboo Harvester. (After the show began, it was legally changed to "Mister Ed.")
The horse that played Mr. Ed is said to have died in 1979 at the age of 30, 33 or 34 (depending on the source). Other, equally reputable, sources give the horse's date of death as 1968, 1973 and 1974.
Mr. Ed only talked to Wilbur because (in his judgment) he was the only person worth talking to.

and for the record, i was not addressing Ontarff directly,
i was addressing the wikipedia source quote .... nothing more !

so i assume YOU are calling him a lier?
