Even if I was running for the most important job in the Country, I might not know the answer to factual, yet unimportant, information when put on the spot. Knowing the name of the hospital in which I was born has never been needed in my entire life, and if someone needs proof of my birthplace, I can show them my birth certificate. If reporters need to know the name, I'd just tell them to google it.
The name of the ladies who ran the lunchroom in my school is factual information, but I cannot tell you their names either. I do remember the name Ms Susie being one of the ladies, but I bet there are thousands of Ms Susies in the world.
Realistically, we don't need a gov't certificate to prove that we were born, just as we don't need a death certificate to prove that we no longer exist.
