Years ago i went to get my first passport, since they required either a certified copy or my original raised seal birth registration ( i was born in DC and they don't have birth certificates only birth registration certificates) I had my original registration and the hospital issued birth certificate ( not good for any form of ID but looks cool)
The Birth Registration is printed on the cheapest paper available and in in BIG BOLD LETTERS along the top it says "This certificate is good effective March 1st, 1907" The local post office would not accept it and I had to go into DC to the main Passport Office to submit it. The older gentleman at the information kiosk said he had not seen an original certificate in almost 15 years. The certificate is the same one that both my mother, father in law and mother is law and my wife all had. They apparently ran out of them in the early 50's but it still makes for a crazy conversation piece.
P.S. I am not 115 years old yet
