In most states you have two options. One long drawn out bunch of forms petitioning your state to anti up a copy of the original. Or, you can get a court order and get a copy of the long form. They put the things on film and store them. They don't routinely produce them. Instead they have the standard info on a computer and pull it up to print it.

You can also get them, in most cases, from the hospital you were born at. Well, unless, of course, you are me. The hospital that I was born at had a major fire and all their original docs were destroyed.

I guess I'm still confused about this. I've never seen an "original" birth
certificate. My state doesn't issue them, and apparently, neither does
Hawaii. In fact, the website for that Hawaiian Homestead program states
that
Hawaii no longer issues 'long form' birth certificates. After my children
were born, PA sent me official, legal, birth certificates, and they look
just like Obama's. They show the county and state of birth, and are signed
by a state official, not a hospital.

I couldn't produce a 'long form' birth certificate either, because my
state
doesn't issue them. There's no option to get any other kind of birth
certificate in Pennsylvania other than what I have; what they issue meets
the requirements of the State Department to prove citizenship (I got a
passport with it).I think many people are talking at cross-purposes as to
what is a 'real' birth certificate. I think every state is different as to
what they issue; maybe that's why people can't agree on what a 'real'
birth
certificate looks like.
