§ 103375 Birth Certificate Updates
When a new birth certificate is made, the state office tells the local and county offices, and they have to send copies of that certificate to the state office if they can; if they can't, they must seal the copy and send a written statement about it.
A baby is born and the hospital files a new birth certificate. The State Registrar notifies the county recorder, who then sends a copy of the certificate to the State Registrar.
If the county recorder can easily mail the copy, they do so. If the recorder can't (maybe because the office is closed or the copy is in a far‑away location), they cover the copy so it isn’t damaged and send a signed note saying they sealed it.
