Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3701 - Department of Health - Administration and Director › Chapter 3701-5 - Vital Statistics › Section 3701-5-04 - Registration of an institution birth

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								All birth
			 certificates shall be completed within ten days of birth. All certificates of
			 birth must be presented for filing within twenty-one days of the date of birth
			 with either the local registrar who, at the time the certificate is filed, has
			 jurisdiction over the registration district where the birth occurred, or with
			 the state registrar. If the birth was attended by a physician, the certificate
			 of birth contains the physician's name and date; or if the birth was not
			 attended by a physician, or was attended by a physician who is deceased, the
			 certificate of birth is supported by an affidavit of an individual, other than
			 one of the child's parents, who has knowledge that the birth occurred at the
			 time and place indicated on the certificate of birth. An affidavit required by
			 this paragraph shall affirm that the birth occurred at the time and place
			 indicated on the certificate.
(B)
								A certificate of
			 birth for an institution birth, filed more than one year but not more than
			 seven years after the birth occurred shall be registered if it meets the
			 requirements of paragraph (D) of this rule and if the birth was attended by a
			 physician, the local registrar shall submit the certificate to the bureau of
			 vital statistics with a written request that the bureau search the state files
			 to determine whether an original certificate of birth was filed at the time of
			 birth. The local registrar shall register the certificate of birth if the
			 bureau of vital statistics determines that no original certificate of birth was
			 registered and the state registrar approves the registration.
(C)
								The birth of any
			 person whose institution birth was not registered within seven years after the
			 birth occurred, or whose birth record has been lost or destroyed, shall be
			 registered upon receipt of an order from a probate court, issued pursuant to
			 section 3705.15 of the Revised Code,
			 ordering registration of the birth.
(D)
								In addition to
			 the applicable requirements of paragraphs (A) and (B) of this rule, a delayed
			 birth certificate, to be registered, shall meet all of the following
			 requirements:
(1)
									The certificate shall be accompanied by all social
			 security numbers that have been issued to the parents of the child, unless the
			 bureau of child support in the Ohio department of job and family services,
			 acting in accordance with regulations prescribed under the Family Support Act
			 of 1988, 102 Stat. 2353,
			 42 U.S.C.A.
			 405, as amended, finds good cause for not
			 requiring that the numbers be furnished with the certificate;
(2)
									The parents'
			 social security numbers shall not be recorded on the
			 certificate;
(3)
									The local registrar of vital statistics shall transmit
			 the social security numbers to the state bureau of vital statistics in
			 accordance with section
			 3705.07 of the Revised
			 Code.
