Perhaps if you hadn't phrased yourself so sloppily and said "the California Certified Abstract of Birth is not acceptable as identification to obtain a passport" rather than claiming that, for some reason, the state department's requirements in one state are different from those in another state, I wouldn't have felt compelled to correct you.
My point is that if you cannot get a passport with a California short form BC (AKA abstract). That point should’ve been clear to just about anyone, including you. When I said “if you live in California”, I was talking about people who were born and are still in California. Yes, it was a little unclear but c’mon, I didn’t think that would confuse anyone.
Your point is pointless. It’s like correcting someone for misspelling something.
