birth certificate

Read a random definition: executio

A quick definition of birth certificate:

A birth certificate is an official document that shows when and where a person was born, as well as who their parents are. When a child is adopted, they get a new birth certificate with their adoptive parents' names on it. The original birth certificate is usually kept private, but some states allow adopted children to access it when they are older. This helps them learn more about their biological parents if they want to.

A more thorough explanation:

A birth certificate is an official document that records a person's birthdate, birthplace, and parentage. It is an important legal document that proves a person's identity and citizenship.

For adopted children, a second birth certificate is issued that reflects their adoptive parents. The original birth certificate is usually sealed and can only be opened by court order. Some states allow limited access to birth records, depending on the year of birth and the consent of the birth parents.

For example, in Oregon, an adopted child can unilaterally demand access to their birth records once they reach the age of majority. In other states, access to birth records may be granted if all parties, including the biological parent, adoptive parent, and adoptee, officially record their desire for its release.

Overall, a birth certificate is an essential document that provides important information about a person's identity and family history.
