Why Does It Say Revenue Receipt on the Back of the Birth Certificate? And Declaratory Judgment Act

Below is a screen shot of what is written on the back of the birth certificate given to me and issued by the British Columbia Department of Health the alleged year 1959. It has my given names and my family name all printed in upper case letters as seen on the live birth record filed out by my mother. The number has six digits followed by the letter L all printed in green.

I have heard it said the birth certificate is a trust document. However, it clearly said it is a revenue receipt so I asked Bing AI the following question:

On the back of my birth certificate is says “Revenue Receipt with a number followed by the letter L printed in green “For Treasury Use Only”. Is a revenue receipt a trust document? What is a revenue receipt and is it created for our benefit? How do we gain benefit from it’s creation?

The phrase “Revenue Receipt” on the back of your birth certificate refers to a financial document, but it is **not** a trust document. Let me explain:

1. **Revenue Receipts**:

– **Definition**: Revenue receipts are funds received by a business as a result of its core business activities. These funds increase the company’s overall revenue.

– **Examples**: Revenue receipts include money from the sale of goods and services, interest earned, rent received, dividends, and other regular business activities⁵⁶.

– **Purpose**: They affect the profit and loss of an organization and are booked on an accrual basis (when the right of receipt is established).

2. **Trust Receipts**:

– **Definition**: Trust receipts bridge the gap between a bank and a business that has received goods but cannot immediately pay for them. The bank retains ownership of the asset or goods until payment is made.

– **Scenario**: Trust receipts arise when a company’s cash flow and working capital are tied up in ongoing projects or operations²³⁴.

3. **Benefit and Ownership**:

– **Revenue Receipts**: These do not directly create benefits for individuals. Instead, they contribute to a company’s financial health.

– **Trust Receipts**: While they don’t directly benefit individuals either, they facilitate business operations by allowing companies to receive goods before full payment.

In summary, the “Revenue Receipt” notation on your birth certificate is unrelated to trust documents. It reflects accounting terminology rather than personal benefits. 🌟

Declaratory Judgment Act #dja

In Counts I and II, Plaintiff seeks declaratory relief pursuant to the Declaratory Judgment Act. (Doc. 1 ¶¶ 17, 28–46). Under the Declaratory Judgment Act, in a “case of actual controversy within its jurisdiction,” a court “may declare the rights and other legal relations of any interested party seeking such declaration[.]” 28 U.S.C. § 2201(a). “[T]he phrase ‘case of actual controversy’ in the Act refers to the type of ‘Cases’ and ‘Controversies’ that are justiciable under Article III.” MedImmune, Inc. v. Genentech, Inc., 549 U.S. 118, 127 (2007); see also Cambridge Christian Sch., Inc. v. Fla. High Sch. Athletic Ass’n, 942 F.3d 1215, 1251 (11th Cir. 2019) (explaining that the Declaratory Judgment Act doesn’t “enlarge the jurisdiction of the federal courts” and that a declaratory action must present a “case or controversy” under Article III). “[T]o demonstrate that a case or controversy exists to meet the Article III standing requirement when a plaintiff is seeking injunctive or declaratory relief, a plaintiff must allege facts from which it appears there is a substantial likelihood that he will suffer injury in the future.” Worthy v. City of Phenix City, 930 F.3d 1206, 1215 (11th Cir. 2019) (alteration in original) (emphasis omitted) (first quoting Malowney v. Fed. Collection Deposit Grp., 193 F.3d 1342, 1346 (11th Cir. 1999); and then citing City of Los Angeles v. Lyons, 461 U.S. 95, 102, 105 (1983)). The controversy must be “real and immediate,” not “conjectural, hypothetical, or contingent.” A&M Gerber Chiropractic LLC v. GEICO Gen. Ins. Co., 925 F.3d 1205, 1210 (11th Cir. 2019). A “remote possibility” of a future injury does not “satisfy the actual controversy requirement for declaratory judgments.” Malowney, 193 F.3d at 1347 (internal quotation marks omitted). If a claim “rests upon contingent future events that may not occur as anticipated, or indeed may not occur at all,” the “claim is not ripe for adjudication.” Texas v. United States, 523 U.S. 296, 300 (1998) (citation omitted); see also Corbett v. Transp. Sec. Admin., 930 F.3d 1225, 1232 n.2 (11th Cir. 2019) (“The ripeness doctrine examines ‘whether there is sufficient injury to meet Article III’s requirement of a case or controversy and, if so, whether the claim is sufficiently mature, and the issues sufficiently defined and concrete, to permit effective decision-making by the court.’ ” (quoting Elend v. Basham, 471 F.3d 1199, 1210–11 (11th Cir. 2006))).
