"birthPlace" expects "Place", but I don’t have a full address - html

Question

I have a database of people who provide mobile notary services. I decided to go with Service instead of just a Person, because the person provides the service.
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Service">
<meta itemprop="serviceType" content="Notary" />
<span itemprop="provider" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/person">
<span itemprop="name">Derrick Calhoun</span>
<img itemprop="image" src="/headshots/hs-3246356.jpg" alt="" />
<span itemprop="birthPlace">Omaha, NE</span>
</span>
<span itemprop="telephone">555-555-5555</span>
<meta itemprop="ratingValue" content="4" />
Last time available:<time datetime="2015-05-08T19:30">May 8, 7:30pm</time>
Current Location: <span itemprop="place">Lincoln, NE</span>
</div>
Should the birthPlace be formatted differently?
http://schema.org/birthPlace says that the value expected is a Place. However, Place only shows examples of places with full addresses. I only have a city.
I thought about using addressLocality, however, that is supposed to be used on a PostalAddress, which I do not have.
Should I embed Place under provider like this?
<span itemprop="provider" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/person">
<span itemprop="name">Derrick Calhoun</span>
<img itemprop="image" src="/headshots/hs-3246356.jpg" alt="" />
<span itemprop="place" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/place">
<span itemprop="addressLocality">Seattle</span>
<span itemprop="addressRegion">WA</span>
</span>
</span>
I think I am confused on the basic structure, parent child. Can anyone shed some epic light on this?

Answer 1

The birthPlace property does expect a Place value, but Place doesn’t need to have a full address. You can provide as much properties of Place as you have/want, and the same goes for the PostalAddress value of its address property (where you could provide a addressLocality property etc.).
If you only have a city, you could use a City value, which is a sub-type of Place (those are listed under "More specific Types"):
<span itemprop="birthPlace" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/City">
<span itemprop="name">Omaha</span>
</span>
Note that you are making some errors in your Schema.org use:
Schema.org terms are case-sensitive, so person is not the same as Person. (Schema.org follows the convention of starting properties with a lowercase letter, and types with an uppercase letter.)
There is no place property, so itemprop="place" can’t be right.
itemtype="http://schema.org/place" has to be
itemtype="http://schema.org/Place"
itemtype="http://schema.org/person" has to be
itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"
