California District 66: District News: Bulletin - Abstract Birth Records in California
DATE: June 21, 2005
TO: All California District Administrators and Local Little Leagues
FROM: Little League International
RE: Bulletin - Abstract Birth Records in California The State of California Department of Health Services determined that effective July 1, 2003, there will be two types of certified copies of birth records.
1. The first type is a regular certified copy identical to those issued prior to July 1, 2003. These will be issued only to authorized individuals as defined by California Health and Safety Code Section 103526.
2. The second type is also a regular certified copy; however, it will have a legend across the face with the statement “INFORMATIONAL, NOT A VALID DOCUMENT TO ESTABLISH IDENTITY.” Both of these documents are certified copies of the original document on file with the State of California, and as such are acceptable to Little League International.
However, a third form previously acceptable to Little League is no longer acceptable. In compliance with the State of California, Department of Health Services, State Registrar, June 27, 2003, certified abstract of birth is no longer acceptable as proof of age in California.
