7 AAC 05.825 - Requirement of independence

The acceptability of any document submitted as supporting evidence to the filing of a delayed birth certificate shall be determined by the State Registrar. The original of such documents may be submitted, or a copy or abstract may be submitted properly certified, in such manner and containing such information as required by the State Registrar. Age of the document, the conditions under which it was made and preserved, and any evidence of alteration shall be considered. When more than one piece of documentary evidence is required to support a particular fact, each must be of independent origin; however, each piece of documentary evidence may be used to support more than one of the required facts, if it does so satisfactorily. Such evidence submitted shall be abstracted on the certificate, including the title or description of the document; the name and address of the affiant if the piece of evidence is an affidavit of personal knowledge, or of the custodian if a record or copy thereof; the date of the original document; and the date of the certified copy.
