Birth Certificate RFE help please

[Hank63452 0]

I received a RFE for birth certificate and USCIS asks that the birth certificate must include the following:

1. be registered and issued by an appropriate civil authority in the country of birth,

2. Show the name of the child, date and place of birth, and parent(s) names,

3. Include the date of registration, seal of the issuing office, and signature of the registrar.

 

The document has everything but a signature of the registrar, the document is original and was issued back when the kid was born in 2008. Is the signature of the registrar a hand written signature? What can I do if it doesn’t have one?

Request a new one from issuing authority.

China, there are seals and stamps but there’s no actual signature.

Is it a notarial birth certificate as set out in the country specific guidelines? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/China.html

 

If so I’d go back to them and point out that it meets the requirements before you try getting a new one.

So go ahead and send in the birth certificate with its notarized part? It states that one only gets one chance at RFE.

I was able to look at multiple birth certificate and some of them have been through same process. None of them have a hand signature. Thank you for your input.

The standard process, is that a family member with access to your family book, takes it to the Gong Zheng Chu (Government Notarial Office) and a Notarial Birth Certificate is produced.  Anything you received at birth would not be a birth certificate in this context.  I don't have any idea what that would be, as China uses family books, not birth certificates, unless it's needed for a purpose like this.

Thank you for your reply, would it be okay to upload the birth certificate produced from family book AND birth certificate? Would that do more bad than good?
