However, after obtaining custody of Caroline, Kilburn realized that instead of a birth certificate, his daughter had received a certificate of live birth – an unofficial document that hospitals submit to start the process of generating government-issued birth certificates.
A Nebraska father is currently fighting with state authorities to obtain a usable birth certificate and social security number for his two-year-old daughter who, due to a paperwork snafu, is legally named “Unakite Thirteen Hotel.”.
Jason Kilburn is desperately trying to obtain the documents for his toddler, without which he will be unable to get any services for her, including health insurance and childcare.

As well as no official birth certificate, Kilburn then learned that his daughter also did not have a Social Security number.
