That misses the point. The suggestion was that you shouldn't be asking
for additional information (that you don't already hold), perhaps also
because there's nothing to compare it against to show its veracity.
This is just as true of a birth certificate as any other document,
irrespective of whether or not the law allows an exception for you to
scrape and store all those extra details off my birth certificate should
I decide to show it to you.
If you want another example, what about a certified redacted copy of my
driving licence that doesn't show what classes of vehicle I'm allowed to
drive?
