American immigrants: Is birth certificate notarization the same as birth notarization?

Hello. Birth certificate notarization and birth notarization are two notarization matters, which are different. Generally speaking, the notarization of birth certificate is a notarization with consistent copies and true signatures. The notarial certificate reads: "The copy of xx birth certificate is consistent with the original, and the xxx chapter is true". Birth notarization is a kind of substantive notarization. The notarial certificate reads: "xx, female, born on xx, xx, XX's father, XX's mother". In principle, these two kinds of notarization have the same meaning, but different countries and different users may need one kind of notarization in particular. You'd better consult users of notarial certificates, such as visa offices and immigration offices. When the parties themselves are not sure what kind of notarization is needed, the notary office will generally advise the parties to do birth notarization, because some birth certificates before 2000 are very irregular and difficult to verify, which is not as clear as birth certificates. However, some parties specifically requested that the birth certificate be notarized. Be sure to know clearly before you do it.
