DESCRIPTION: These certificates document all live births in the State of Utah in compliance with UCA 26-2-5 (2008). In 1905, a state registry system of vital statistics was established at the State Health Department with local registrars. All certificates created prior to 1905 are only maintained at the local level and prior to 1978 some local registrars may not have reported all births to the State Health Department. Since 1978, all certificates maintained at the local level are duplicate certificates maintained by the State Health Department. The information recorded includes the child's name, place of birth, date of birth, sex, and if child part of multiple birth; the parents' name, race, age, birthplace, occupation, and marital status; a record of children previously born to the mother; the length of the pregnancy; the child's weight and length at birth; the date of the serological test; and a description of any congenital malformations or birth injuries.
