A birth certificate is a crucial document that certifies a person’s birth. Birth certificates can be either certified copies or representations of the subsequent registration of the birth, or they can be the original document attesting to the circumstances of the birth. A birth record may or may not include confirmation of the event by a midwife or doctor, depending on the jurisdiction.
