Thanks for the response Brenda, I had read that the day it was posted.
Again. I say the same thing. This was the phrase that cracked me up "
prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who
do not have a ***TANGIBLE INTEREST***

In this case, 'Tangible Interest', by law, means that it must be YOUR birth
record, or the birth record of your issue (children), or to prove that a
child is your issue. Other rules may apply in any individual state.

You cannot get a copy of your ss card
or your drivers license with just a "Certification of Birth"

Again, the nomenclature of the birth record varies from state to state. In
California, it is not called a "birth certificate", but a "Certificate of
Live Birth".

Those issued to US Citizens born abroad, such as the one most likely issued
to Senator McCain, are called "Consular Report of Birth Abroad".

The State of Hawaii apparently calls theirs "Certification of Birth".

There is absolutely no legal requirement for any state, territory, or
commonwealth to call their birth record by any particular name.

What many apparently STILL do not
understand is that the two are different, there is a Certification of
Birth , that won't do jack for you here in Ohio and then there is your
Birth Certificate.

That may or may not be the case in the State of Ohio (they have some very
strange laws on the books there... ), but is not the case in any state I
have ever lived in, which accounts for about 2/5 of the country. I have 5
sisters and one brother, born in 4 different states, all of which had
variations in the names on their birth certificates (Utah, Nebraska,
California, Nevada)
