I never have had to produce a long form bc. Not for a job, not for my Texas law license, not for little league. Even the American Grand Jury (which requires one to be a Natural Born Citizen to participate) didn’t require that I produce a long form, short form, or even COLB - all I had to do was tell Offshores Bob Campbell that I was a Natural Born Citizen.
Maybe not, but in Virginia the new standard is a true copy of a short form BC with the raised seal(No Photocopies). Good luck getting a driver’s license or passport without one. They have really locked things down here after 9/11.
Bob Campbell's era, he is 60 now? With terrorism anyone near offshore rigs or refineries have verified ID.

5. Proof of Citizenship or USCIS Status: You must provide the applicable documents requested in Question 20. THESE DOCUMENTS BECOME PART OF THE BOARD’S PERMANENT FILE AND WILL NOT BE RETURNED TO YOU. Photocopies of birth certificates will not be accepted.
But you did produce a "short form" certificate, did you not? With seal and signature. (I've produced my long form, since the last time I needed to do that, my birth state did not use a short form). BHO has not done even that. Only an image of one, which has "issues". Even aside from the "forensic" ones of image analysis, original lack of seal, etc. But also ones involving the "date filed" and "file number", when compared to those of twin girls born in what as far as anyone knows is the same hospital, 19 or so hours after the COLB says he was born.
BTW, have you gotten a passport? Several sources, sites that will handle the paperwork for you, say that Texas "abstract"/"short form" BCs are not accepted for US passports. (Here and here) although the State of Texas says they are, but that the Passport Agency may require additional information, up to and including the long form. They also indicate that the short form is only acceptable for persons born after 1963 in a hospital.
