Are you in Murika ? :-D

I was born in 1975 and I have a certificate sized one as well as a wallet card one :/

No Pete Daoust, Ireland.

I heard about the different forms, so I an curious if those long birth records ( if they exist ) have value to the government or not.

Lee, in the US, we have 3 different forms of birth records. 1) Hospital form with baby footprints (I forget what this one is called). 2) The long form is issued from the State of Birth and it's call a "CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH". This one can be ordered from the State in certified form. 3) The short form is issued by the State of Birth and can be printed out at the local county health department. It is called, "CERTIFICATION OF BIRTH". It has the NAME, SEX, DATE OF BIRTH, CERTIFICATE NUMBER, COUNTY OF BIRTH, FILE DATE. It is a shortened version of the long form. Also, these may vary slightly from State to State. This is an example of the ones issued for my PERSON.

I have looked at a Certified Copy of an Entry in the Register Book of Births and it's dated 1946. The layout of this document is uncanny to the long birth certificate, but it does not state anywhere on it that it is a birth certificate or have a registration number. It has been used as one over the years though. Does that mean that this woman does not have a PERSON? Scott Duncan, Pete Daoust and anyone else.
