Methinks the beancounters have discovered a Profit Center!  A friend of mine
says he received a Birth Certificate one with (a) a rubber-stamped
"Built-on" date and (b) incorrect information (they listed his hardroof
sedan as a "Karmann-Ghia").  I've found Christine Neefe, who runs (ran?) the
AutoMuseum Volkswagen, to be most helpful as I've assembled info on the
police models, old brochures, etc.  I guess good help is hard to find.
Don't know whether she is still in charge.

I got mine about 10 years ago from the same place you quoted for free.  
I guess they just started the service back then.
