You are lucky you are not trying to get a US Passport. I submitted for my US Passport and they told me my birth certificate isn't valid because it has no raised seal/stamp.
I was born long before they started using those fancy stamps, but had the signed courthouse notice saying the birth certificate is valid and filed.
I had to wait for months to get a little piece of paper that says I was born in the US that was stamped. This piece of paper looks more fake than my old birth certificate.
The State Department kept the nearly $100 I spent to try to get the first passport and wants another $100 to reapply.
It's sick. I'd wait 2 years for a passport as long as I didn't have to pay for it twice. Come on over to America... land of the free and just...?
