Private/Commercial Remedy Perspective (Equity Side)
From the private remedy or secured party creditor angle (which I know you’re exploring):
- The registration of your birth created an entry (sometimes tied to a bond or account in commerce).
- “Appraisal” in this sense usually means: Tracing the bond/account associated with your STRAWMAN (all-caps name).
- Looking up CUSIP numbers, securities, or Treasury Direct references.
- Using FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) or a Request for Accounting (UCC 9-210) to demand disclosure from agencies or the registrar/treasury.
- Engaging a private auditor to assess the commercial value attached to that record.
Practical Steps If You Want to Explore Private Appraisal
Here are the directions most people take:
- Obtain Certified Copies of your Birth Certificate (long form, with registrar’s signature and seal).
- Look for Numbers: Red/black numbers on the certificate (often at the bottom or back).These can sometimes be used to trace securities.
- Search CUSIP/SEC: Some attempt to plug these into bond or security databases.
- Request an Accounting: Send a UCC 9-210 request to the State Treasurer or Department of Vital Records
- Private Valuation: Some engage private “bond appraisal” services or forensic auditors to assign a notional value.
