It's called a passport.

Ah, yes. Of course you are right. I meant in the context of a required identification document. "Please produce your papers!" etc etc.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-10-2009, 01:41 PM

Yeah, yeah, everyone knows what you were saying/implying. My attempted humor was not opportunistic, not critical.

Anything requiring a birth certificate gets awful weird for me. I don't have one, not that the US courts recognize.

However I am a US citizen with a passport.

Makes for fun times down at the DMV.

Interesting how many more employers are requiring an I-9.

BigV · 11-10-2009, 03:13 PM

aren't they all supposed to be concerned with it? it's just as much a crime to employ someone who has no right to work as it is to be employed without the right to work.

monster · 11-10-2009, 06:43 PM

There are new regulations regarding the I9, I think. we have to do it for all our summer pool employees. This is only my first year as treasurer, but I get the feeling it's fairly newly mandatory.

About 5 years ago, after working there for almost 20 years, I had to come up with my original birth certificate (no Photostats, no duplicates, original with raised seal), because of a change in federal law.

DanaC · 11-11-2009, 04:19 AM

Original birth certificate? Well, shit. That'd be me well an'truly farked then.

I think I'm onto my forth or fifth re-issue.

And I lost my National Insurance card within about a year of getting it. Mind you I have never ever needed it. As long as you know your national insurance number, you don't actually need the card.

I can feel the horror, damn!
I think most of us know the feeling... Like the whole world got on a train and left without you.

Sorry Sam

no one has original birth certificates. original birth certificates are kept in the public records; from whence you obtain certified copies; this is the proof you need for a passport, for example

SamIam · 11-11-2009, 09:33 AM

You can use a copy of your divorce decree, too. Naturally, I have lost mine. My ex-husband aka Mr. Anal is sure to have a copy. I suppose I need to cowboy up and write him for this. Its easier than getting a copy of my birth certificate and cheaper, too. (sigh) I can hear the lecture now.

in the US.

Cloud · 11-11-2009, 10:57 AM

well, yes, just like Social Security cards.

so--you don't have certified copies of documents in the UK? People keep their original birth certificates? What happens if it gets lost or destroyed?

I beg to differ.

What is kept in public records, is the birth record. What is issued to the parents, is the Birth Certificate.
