Bond James Bond Posted June 21, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi, I learned today (4 days prior to our sailing on the Legend) that my father's birth certificate does not have a raised seal. We are told that this will cause major problems, and we were wondering how we could manage to get a raised sealed birth certificate in time for the cruise. Right now we have a copied birth certificate, with no raised seal. Replies would be very much appreciated. thank you, jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyJean Posted June 21, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Contact the vital records office in the state where he was born to request a certified copy. For an extra fee, they should be able to FedEx it out to you unless you are close enough to pick it up.

WazAnOkie Posted June 21, 2004 #3 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Check out [url="http://www.vitalchek.com/"]http://www.vitalchek.com/[/url] And then select the state he was born in. Also depends on the state, but many also have walk-in service, which, because of the short time frame may be the best way to go. For example, if he was born in NJ, you can also check [url="http://www.state.nj.us/health/vital/inperson.shtml"]http://www.state.nj.us/health/vital/inperson.shtml[/url] Most states have similar walk-in service for birth certificates, or you can use the online services and get the expedited service. Good Luck and enjoy the cruise!!! WazAnOkie Grand Princess 10/03/98 Carnival Triumph 11/02/02 Coral Princess 09/30/03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
