Mitt Romney‘s birth certificate reads: “Certificate of Live Birth,” just like President Obama’s birth certificate. One of the birther movement’s sticking points has been that the Obama birth certificate released by the President last year is titled “Certificate of Live Birth,” and not “Birth Certificate,” which for some reason is supposedly different.

hospital gives the parents. The Birth Ceritificate is what is registered at you local city hall, State Health Dept., County Register's Office (where it is registered depends upon where you live). The Birth Certificate tends to be more formal with more information about the birth parents. The Cerificate of Live Birth now a days tends to have a footprint of the baby and a fingerprint from each of the parents.

There are two kinds of birth certificates out there:

1. The Certificate of Live Birth, for babies born alive. If it hits air alive and dies in the doctor's hands ten seconds later, it gets a Certificate of Live Birth.

2. The Certificate of Still Birth, for babies born dead.

The hospital might give you a ceremonial "Birth Certificate" with the footprints and all, but the official document says Certificate of Live Birth on it. I have my original, 1963-issue, long form birth certificate, and in Idaho back then these things were about the size of an index card...it's got "Certificate of Live Birth" on it.
