Short-Form Birth Certificate vs Long-Form Birth Certificate. A short-form birth certificate is a comprised version of the long-form. It contains the most important information such as names, the date, and place where the birth occurred, but does not include any detailed information, like parents’ birth dates, and the exact location where the birth occurred (i.e.; hospital, home, birthing facility.) Each state has its version of short-form birth certificate format, also often referred to as abstracts, because they only provide a fraction of information of the long-form. In some states, they are very similar to the long version and are even considered to be the standard size. A long-form birth certificate often referred to as the official birth certificate, and full-size birth certificate, is a copy of the original document. It contains all the legal information, including signatures from the attending physician or midwife. It also includes the nationality and birth dates of both parents. The long version also includes a file number, and the date when the birth certificate was filed, the short form does not. Long form birth certificates genuinely take much more time to process in terms of layout and formatting, therefore the translation costs a bit higher than one of a short form certificate.
