[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not, for the love of god, send the original birth certificate.  Get a certified copy.  This has been discussed ad nauseum on DCUM.[/quote]

For the love of god, make sure you read the OP before being snarky. She has the original birth certificate, she is wondering about documents related to her name change.

OP...does your kid’s last name now match yours? Or does it match your maiden name? [/quote]

No, read OP’s original post again snark monster.  She plans on including the original birth certificate in the application, which they will send off to the state department.  That’s how it reads.

I am offering some very solid advice. In fact about a month ago a poster came on the travel forum to complain she needed to leave the country and her child’s passport had not arrived and she had sent off the child’s original birth certificate and didn’t have an extra copy so going down to the main passport office on 19th in person to get one in an emergency wouldn’t work bc she didn’t have any birth certificate for her kid, she had mailed the only one she had.

But hey, I guess since it’s DCUM my intentions would never be to actually try to help someone.

For a child’s passport, in this situation, mother provides birth certificate to prove who the parents to the baby are, then she will need to Ovi de a front and back copy of her driver license to prove who she is which I assume will have a different last name (birth certificate old name, DL new name). So she will need to provide the link between the two, hence her change of name certificate.  I still would not mail the original for that either.  If you can get a certified copy of that certificate, because you will have to mail it, it’s better IMO. Is that ok with the snarky PP?

This isn’t that rare, my sister had same issue due to a new name when she got remained.  [/quote]
