Massachusetts does not seem to have an option to order "long form" birth certificates which I understand will be required at some point. Anyone had this situation before? Many thanks in advance!

What in the world is a "long form" birth certificate? I thought there was just one standard birth certificate? :unsure:

What in the world is a "long form" birth certificate? I thought there was just one standard birth certificate? :unsure:

A long form certificate is longer than standard size . standard printer paper is 11 x 8 1/2"

Long form as in my Birth Certificate from the UK is 13 1/2 x 5 1/2 and read in long form from left to right

Whereas my divorce document is also in long form but read from top to bottom.

I am not sure about other states in the USA , as they do their own thing , kinda like driving licences are not all standard throughout the country.

But im sure other VJers will be able to enlighten us all...

In Canada (at least in BC), there are two forms of birth certificate. There's one that has information like date of birth, place of birth, full names of your parents, etc. It's fairly large, maybe 6" tall and definitely not convenient to tote around.

There's also a wallet-sized birth certificate that is a laminated card with similar information, but not all of it. It's intended to be carried around and be used for identification.

They're both legitimate, but the "long form" has more data.
