copy of a birth or death record are:
- The registrant or a parent or legal guardian of
the registrant

court order or an attorney or a licensed adoption agency seeking the birth
record in order to comply with the requirements of section 3140 or 7603 of the
family code.

representative of another governmental agency, as provided by law who is
conducting official business.

registrant's estate or any person or agency empowered by statue or appointed
by a court to act on behalf of the registrants or the registrant's estate.

Every person who requests certified copies of birth of
death certificates is required to present photo identification and sign a sworn

applicant must provide the sworn statement under penalty of perjury and must
