Current through May 31, 2024
One of the primary purposes of the Vital Statistics Act is
					 to insure that each vital statistics event is registered, completely and
					 accurately, at the time the event occurs, and in an orderly and logical
					 fashion; and that such certificates are collected and preserved in a central
					 location, so that any citizen may when necessary obtain information from or
					 copies of such vital records pertaining to his family and himself, in order to
					 secure and protect his legal rights. The time limits set for filing certain
					 certificates, or for obtaining certain permits are short; they are so set to
					 insure that such certificates will be completed before the necessary facts are
					 forgotten, while the persons from whom they may best be obtained are available,
					 and that the certificate is filed before it is forgotten. It is recognized that
					 in certain cases this time limit may cause an undue hardship upon the person or
					 persons responsible, or upon the family concerned. For this reason, and in
					 hardship cases only, these regulations provide for a means of obtaining an
					 extension of time for the filing of birth, death, and fetal death certificates,
					 and medical certifications of cause of death; and for the obtaining of permits;
					 and also for the issuance of a burial-transit permit prior to the filing of a
					 death or fetal death certificate. The State Registrar is authorized to grant
					 further extensions of time in individual hardship cases over and beyond those
					 herein authorized, or in cases not herein covered; provided he is satisfied as
					 to the necessity therefor, and that the purposes of the Act will not be impeded
					 thereby. Such extensions of time are a privilege; anyone abusing such privilege
