VitalChek makes sure to submit your request correctly to ensure that you receive exactly what you need for your official records. An example of an uncertified copy of a birth certificate will be a photocopy on plain, white paper of the original document that is filed in the states official document’s office. Most states issue two formats of the certified copy of birth certificate, a computer-printed extract or a photocopy of the original record. Either format will be acceptable for legal purposes such as obtaining a driver’s license or a passport, or for foreign travel. The certified photocopy will be a copy on security paper of the original certificate. Unless you specify otherwise, most states will process and send you a computer-printed extract.
