most likely it will be ok. the first few times i visited w/ my son i only had the certificate from the hospital. sometimes they checked, sometimes they didn't...until i ran into this one @sshole CO that gave me a hard time & wouldn't let me visit. nevermind i traveled all the way cross country to see my hubby, he wouldn't let me see him. if you can, make sure the hospital paper look official. can you get a temp. certificate? if the baby's a newborn, they probably know you won't have a certificate for a while, so give it a shot. most likely they'll let you slide.

good luck!
