The birth certificate paperwork I sent from Fresno via USPS Certified Mail to the CDPH-VR on October 17, 2025--the paperwork which the USPS still says never arrived--included a check for copies of the revised birth certificate. That check has now been cashed, which I am taking to be a good sign.

As of October 31 it will have been two (2) weeks since I sent the paperwork via Certified Mail to Sacramento. I feel like sending it from Fresno again will veer way too close to "fool me twice" territory, but I also know that delivering it in person at the CDPH-VR is not an option. They told me so.
