Briea Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Someone in my travel party will be travelling with their birth certificate because they do not have a passport. He recently had to get a copy of the birth certificate from the Vital Records in NYS because he had misplaced it. However, I have been hearing that the copy must have a raised seal but the copy he received does not. However, it does have multiply security features such as watermarks. Has any cruised before on a birth certificate without a seal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it is a state issued BC, not the novelty one from the hospital with the footprints, it will be accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowen Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 My niece just did this, no raised seal. As long as it comes from the governing office it’s fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
