APPRAISAL

Historical

These certificates are duplicates copies. In 1905, Utah became a registry state. The Board of Health was authorized to register births on a statewide basis. The original birth certificate was sent to the State Board of Health while some registrars maintained a copy. These certificates are copies, but may be very useful in genealogical and community studies. Until 1990, these certificates are private and are closed to research.

PRIMARY DESIGNATION

Protected. Not public for 100 years.
