Birth Certificate Data - Q&A
QUESTION: Denise, my original Certificate of Live Birth (1951) shows my first and middle name in upper and lower case, and my last name ALL CAPS. Does that create a wrinkle in this process since my full name is not ALL CAPS on the certificate? Especially since the paperwork refers to the TRUST with an ALL CAPS name which does not agree with my Certificate of Live Birth. I am getting my first packet notarized and witnessed to mail next week and want to make sure I am not missing something crucial before I move forward.
ANSWER: No, not at all. Your name is all caps in every contract you have ever created and with the SSN. The Birth Certificate can vary on how the data read depending on the state. I have a Birth Certificate via NY where my name was entered with lowercase, and I have a certificate of birth where it reads with all caps. They both have the same file number, so no worries, you are good to go
