When I was in the military my daughter was born in a Military Hospital in Korea. Her birth certificae was issued by the American Embassy in Souel, Korea. When we returned to the states, I had to take the Embassy issued birth certificate to Idaho to get her a Certificate of Live Birth. The only thing that got the birth certifcate was the Embassy paperwork. She can not get a passport with the Idaho birth certificate, she has to the use the Embassy issued birth certificate. Her Idaho birth certificate is good for registering to vote, getting a dirvers license but not for a passport, It is a certificate of live birth.

Now do you understand the difference.
