I can tell you from an experience of a good friend recently that if your birth cert does not match exactly the name and dob on your other forms of ID, you will have T-R-O-U-B-L-E trying to get back into the US. This friend of mine got his docs confiscated and was taken into custody for 3 days while they sorted it out. He never got his birth cert back. And it ended up costing him like $600 in unexpected expenses before he got back into the good ole USofA.
