new requirements for passports
New Requirement for U.S. Birth Certificates
Updated April 28, 2011
New U.S. Birth Certificate Requirement
Beginning April 1, 2011, the U.S. Department of State will require the full names of the applicant’s parent(s) to be listed on all certified birth certificates to be considered as primary evidence of U.S. citizenship for all passport applicants, regardless of age. Certified birth certificates missing this information will not be acceptable as evidence of citizenship. This will not affect applications already in-process that have been submitted or accepted before the effective date.
For more information, see 22 CFR 51.42(a).
To obtain a new birth certificate, see the CDC.
In addition to this requirement, certified copies of birth certificates must also include the following information to be considered acceptable primary evidence of U.S. citizenship:
- Full name of the applicant
- Date of birth
- Place of birth
- Raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal of issuing authority
- Registrar’s signature
- The date the certificate was filed with the registrar’s office (must be within one year)
If you cannot obtain a birth certificate that meets these requirements, please see Secondary Evidence of U.S. Citizenship.

Mystery, it is true they are making it more difficult to get a passport. I think what is new is that those who do not have a birth certificate will have to answer a new set of questions which will be much more difficult to answer. Also they are planning to start a system to check to see if one owes taxes before they can get a passport. As I've stated in other blogs on the subject, if you don't have a passport, now is the time to get one before they make it more difficult.

Mystery, I don't see where it says both parents, just 'parent(s)' because like you say the father will be 'unknown' in certain circumstances.

I know that the birth certificate has been a required form of identification for a long time to acquire a pass port , but the requirement of both parents FULL names was just amended as of April 1st (I think) of the year 2011. Its not the fact that it is required, but the fact that both parents full names are required. Are you supposed to exit the womb knowing this fact and speak up with first breath of air, to make sure that it is done? Or what about the children born of rape or incest to a mother that wants only to protect her child from this fact? Or we all know its true those kids that are born to a mother that truly doesn't know who the father is for what ever reason. My question I guess is "How do you control something that is obviously not in your control from birth?" Now that i have sat and read back through my comment you could apply this question across the board to all that is happening now.

A certified birth certificate has been required to get a slave card for quite a long time. Here's more on passports:

Adoptees do not get to see their original & true birth certificate in US of A in majority of States, I believe, correct me if I am wrong. With so many adoptiors aquiring children & babies from countries other than USA .. how does all these requirements fit..
