birth certificates

[Kimmarie]

I'm new to cruising and was told that our birth certificate has to have a raised seal, the problem is my step daughter was born in San Diego California and her birth certificate doesn't have a raised seal and when I called them they said they don't give certificates with a raised seal, does any one know anything about this and will this be a problem?

[srphnx]

It is a common practise for certified BC's to have a raised seal but not in all cases. It should not be an issue. My own BC is from Germany where I was born to my Army Parents on a US base, it isn't raised either, I cruise a lot and do not have a passport.

Steve,

 

Landstuhl, perhaps? My kids were born there.

It depends on the state. Some states issue birth certificates with a raised seal, others use an ink stamp.

Hey Verwirrt! Don't know about Steve, but I was born at Landstuhl! Air Force brat here. Small world!

 

Got tired of carrying around my Report of Birth of a Child Born Abroad to American Parents for 20+ cruises and broke down and got a passport this year! And not a moment too soon, that paperwork was getting pretty thin!!

Now, Steve,

 

I did recognize that you said Army. My kids were born at Landstuhl ARMY Regional Medical Center, one of the largest military hospitals. Air Force personnel in the area use it.

 

But, I'm ex-Air Force myself!

Ok, you Air Force types are ok too, especially of late, gotta love the sound of screaming jets and fleeing turbans.

Yeah, what Sue said!

[sue d. miller]

Sharon, I don't know how far back you go, but I was at SAC bases. There was nothing like an alert, or the nightly takeoffs with the B52's and 135's in 30 second intervals,each going to the side to avoid wake. The house rattled, and the only way #2 son would go to sleep is after they went over. Being a baby, he was probably in shock!!

Sue,

 

My Dad was stationed at Fairchild AFB when I was a kid. They had the B52's there. I still remember the sonic booms.

 

I worked on the flightline at Ramstein. We had F16's and C5's. The F16's are fast, very loud and impressive.

 

The C5's always impressed me, though. Those things are HUGE! I was always amazed that they could even make it off the ground!!

 

Sharon

[sue d. miller]

LOL!! I used to call the C5's the bubble because of the nose. Did you ever use your hands to help get them airborne? I used to do that all the time. Just expected them to fall!!
