Section 440.310 - Prerequisites for filing delayed birth certificate

Universal Citation: NV Admin Code 440.310

Current through December 12, 2024

1. An applicant for the filing of a delayed certificate of birth must provide the documentary evidence required by subsection 3 and documentary evidence showing that:

(a) The person for whom the delayed certificate is to be issued was born in Nevada; and

(b) A birth certificate for the person was not previously filed in this state or any other state or country. Such evidence may include, without limitation, a verification from the State Registrar or a local registrar that a registered record of birth does not currently exist within this State.

2. The State Registrar shall not file a delayed certificate of birth unless, based upon the documentary evidence supplied pursuant to subsection 3, the State Registrar is able to determine:

(a) The parentage of the person;

(b) That a pregnancy occurred;

(c) That a live birth occurred; and

(d) That the birth occurred in this State.

3. An applicant for the filing of a delayed certificate of birth must present at least two documents from independent sources to prove each fact listed in subsection 2. One document may be used to prove more than one of those facts. In certain cases, to be determined by the State Registrar, the applicant's inability to furnish documentary evidence does not preclude the State Registrar from filing the certificate.
