The birth certificates came back today, intact, undamaged, and this coming from a bureaucracy, in separate envelopes.
Unusual envelopes, too -- large, brown, 9.5" x 12" envelopes, but with the flap on the long side (and no brad), and taped shut with one, quite long, extra-wide piece of tape, perfectly placed. Either the taping is done mechanically or the passport department has at least one person who has dedicated his or her life to mastering the zen of envelope taping. Being a civil service of the government, could be either.
Happy ending -- we got the passports and the birth certificates in impressively quick time.
