Sounds like you got it from the Vital Statistics arm of your State. If that is the case, you are good to go. I would still recommend getting a passport.

I second that. Passports make everything so much easier!! Just apply- you have nothing to lose!

if you have a Birth Cert
I think it has to have a raised seal on it
but as the others said just get the passport then you will have no question that you are good to go

Nope. The BC does NOT have to have a raised seal.

Sounds like you have a state issued birth certificate, which is what you need. I thought that by now or soon, you'd also be required to have a passport, better just go and apply for one.
