How do I know if my birth certificate is acceptable for travel out of the country or for proof of age or citizenship?
The Certification of Birth form that the Division of Vital Records has utilized since 1975 is the official document accepted by governmental agencies as valid proof of birth. This document is a yellow-centered, blue-bordered document containing an embossed seal in the lower right corner. Documents such as hospital records or birth registration notices are usually not acceptable and could cause delays.
