Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
The State Registrar shall:
1. Arrange and permanently preserve the
certificates in a systematic manner.
2. Prepare and maintain a comprehensive
and continuous index of all births and deaths registered. The index must show
the name of the child or the deceased, the place and date of birth or death and
the number of the certificate. When a certificate of birth indicates that a
person has changed his or her name, the index must contain an entry for each
name.
3. Make a complete and accurate copy of
each vital statistic, including, without limitation, using typewritten,
photographic, electronic or other means of reproduction approved by the Board.
Such a copy, when verified and approved by the State Registrar, shall be deemed
to be the original record, and the original record may be disposed of in
accordance with the regulations adopted by the Board.
