Birth Certificates?????

[DBMagic]

Do they have to be the ones with the raised seal? My wife and I have ours from a cruise we took 12 years ago and they don't have the raised seal. She we get new ones or do you think these will be fine?

You might want to call DCL to get the best answer.....I've seen people post saying you have to have the seal rasied and others saying they have had no problem getting checked in without it raised.....Andy

and in light of all this reading and info that I have consumed on here, I went ahead and ordered new ones for my family. Now we have raised seals! I didn't want or need any last minute upsets before boarding...
They were only $4.00 /each. Better to be safe then sorry!



Good luck! and have a safe and fun trip!!

You dont need a raised seal (our state doesnt even use them) it has to be a CERTIFIED COPY. It cant be a birth record from a hospital it has to be a STATE Certified Copy.

According to Disney's own website:

What documentation do I need to bring?
All U.S. and Canadian citizens must travel with proof of citizenship, which is a valid passport, original, state-certified birth certificate and picture identification, or a certified naturalization certificate with a picture identification. Acceptable forms of picture identification are state or provincial driver's license, or federal, state, province or local government photo I.D. card. Guests age 17 and under who are U.S. or Canadian citizens are only required to have proof of citizenship, excluding picture identification. These guidelines are based on U.S. government regulations which are subject to change at any time. It is the Guest's responsibility to check with their Travel Agent, government agencies, embassies or consulates prior to their vacation to ensure that they have proper documentation. Any Guest traveling without proper documentation will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund of cruise fare will be issued.
New security guidelines require all adult Guests to show a picture I.D. to embark and disembark the ship in all ports, including Castaway Cay. Please be advised that anyone under the age of 18 wishing to go ashore unaccompanied will be required to have a consenting parent, guardian or other responsible adult with them at the gangway, to provide their signature as authorization.

It doesnt say anywhere that it now has to have a raised seal it just says certified copy.
