[quote=Anonymous]This question is for people who were born in New York [b]State[/b] (not City -- I think they had different birth certificates) and now live in Maryland and need to present a birth certificate to get their Real ID verified drivers licenses.

I don't have a passport so I need to use my birth certificate.

All my life I have used something like *this* as my birth certificate.  It was always accepted everywhere, even for a passport which has long since expired...)

It had a raised seal, etc., and all the information needed on a birth certificate.  But when I went to the Maryland MVA three weeks ago they told me that this was a certificate of [b]birth registration[/b] and not an actual birth certificate.  It merely stated that my birth certificate was on file, and I needed a copy of the actual birth certificate.

So I contacted New York State Department of Health (online) and ordered a copy of my birth certificate and what they sent me was exactly the same information as before, only this time they are calling it a "Certified Transcript of Birth" and it looks like this:

My question to other New Yorkers (from the state, not the city) is.... has this been good enough for you to present as Real ID document?  Or is there something else they should have sent me?
