If they don't release the document why do they need to save the information, since they can't release the document they also shouldn't be able to release the information.
because they can have information that the person Birthed needs or wants, regarding genealogy....the person birthed can get special access to their original birth certificates.
Go a few replies back the comment was made they do not release copies of the long form. If they do not release copies why keep the long form?
they DO release the long form with special request paperwork from the person birthed....it is a separate legal request, allowed to be made by the person whose name is on the birth certificate for genealogy reasons...I saw the Hawaiian legal form for this....
My birthed state of Alabama does not release the original long form either, unless special request is made....I got a short form birth certificate....computer generated and paid 15 bucks for it from my birthed state....it was missing all kinds of info, like the time I was born....which is why I ordered the BC in the first place....to find out the time I was born....it was not until I got the legal certificate of birth in the mail, that i realized it was NOT the original.
