Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Hey Marie - I can take wild guess. They don't use the raised seal anymore. More like a stamp. The raised seal is from the old days. I know what you mean. A certified copy of your birth certificate should be enough no matter how the seals shows up. I don't ever see any raised seals in my job and have not for a long time. Just on the ancient documents! Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 OKAY! OKAY! I DIDN'T MEAN ANYONE IS ANCIENT! IF I COULD FIND MY ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE I AM SURE IT WOULD BE A RAISED SEAL, TOO, CATHERINE. I CAN KEEP YOU COMPANY! I WOULD GUESS THE OFFICES THAT KEEP THE VITAL STATISTICS CHANGED TO A STAMP SEAL AND THE PRESSED SEALS (RAISED) BECAME OBSOLETE. THE RAISED SEALS CAME FROM PUTTING THE PAPER (CERTIFICATE) BETWEEN A DEVICE (USED FOR LACK OF BETTER WORD) YOU WOULD SQUEEZE THE DEVISE - HENCE IT RAISED THE PAPER. THEN ALONG CAME TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE LIFE EASIER WITH JUST " STAMPING " IT. USING THE WORD OBSOLETE - DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL ANY YOUNGER?
