I'm a Class of 2014 appointee and I'm trying to figure out where I'm supposed to send in my birth certificate. I found this address on USNA's website, but I'm not sure if it's right.

Superintendent
U.S. Naval Academy
Nominations and Appointments Office
117 Decatur Road
Annapolis, MD 21402-5019

Can any other appointees tell me where you sent your birth certificate?
 
I sent mine to

U.S. Naval Academy
Nominations and Appointments Office
117 Decatur Road
Annapolis, MD 21402-5019

because the sheet about birth certificates said to send it to the Nominations and Appointments Office, and that was the address for Nominations and Appointments given on another form/envelope.

Either way, I think you're safe.
 
I was wondering. Does the birth certificate have to have a raised seal on it or can I just order copies from Vital records?
 
pilotmom15,

Pretty sure that this is a trick question... Copies from vital records (at least in my state - PA) do have a raised seal! I would suggest calling your state's vital records department as I was unable to verify that Maryland's copies do in fact have raised seals, but I bet that they do.

Good luck.
 
sending birth cert

Yes, you have the address correct. Child sent raised seal birth certificate with self-addressed stamped envelope for easy return. Also sent the birth certificate via certified to make sure that it got to USNA. Received the postcard that it was received a few days after it was sent; received the birth certificate back in pre-addressed envelope about a week after that with a note that it had been added to file.
