Unfortunately, this will be delayed a bit. I just noticed that the copy of my birth certificate that I have isn't acceptable for the purpose because it does not list my parents' names. Such is life.
Exactly. And, as I've noted in some replies below, even more bureaucratic since they don't give me a way to directly specify that I need it to include that information. It's a guessing game as to which reason for the request will cause it to be printed (I used "legal" and am pretty sure "passport" doesn't.)
If I end up doing the mailed request form I'll try that...I actually found exactly that suggested elsewhere. The online forms do not give me any place to do so, but do offer faster turn-around and fewer identification hoops - mailing request requires I provide photocopies of IDs, and has 8-10 weeks of processing lead time.
