that is not true because my brother in law was born in Germany, while living with his father in a US military base. he's a natural born us citizen, who got his passport, social security card, and other paperwork without having his original birth certificate which was lost years ago,.
even I got my passport using a certificate of live birth i got some time after the year 2000. i was born the century before that. it's not a birth certificate. what i have in my home isn't a birth certificate b/c my original birth certificate issued when I was born got destroyed in a flood, but it passes muster b/c it has the raised, embossed, seal, the registrars 'signature'....what you're saying that doesn't pass muster is a copy of the birth certificate or a doctor's note saying you were born there......
the date of issue is always the same when you print this out at the government office, no matter when you print it out...... get it???
