What Is a Birth Certificate?

In the Bill of Rights, each individual has the right to get a name, identity, and acquire a nationality. All these, as well as the individual’s birthday, are stated in the Birth Certificate, which becomes the first legal recognition of a child’s identity as mandated by law. The birth certificate is a vital record that certifies the circumstances of a child’s birth, and it serves as a representation of such delivery.

Birth certificate are needed as a requirement for when a person needs registration. As early as kindergarten, the sample certificate is necessary for registering in schools to serve as proof of identity and age of a child. Later on, it will also be essential to use for obtaining a driver’s license, youth sports, social security, travel requirements such as a passport, and in some countries or states, for obtaining a marriage license, among others. In most cases, however, birth certificates will need to be government-authorized certified copies. 

In every three births, two are not registered in Asia. This is alarming since children who do not have birth certificates are the least prioritized when seeking treatment.
