<DIV>In some states I have dealth with, you only had to show "proof" if you wanted a "certified" copy. If you are doing genealogy, and don't need a certified copy, just ask for an uncertified copy.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">In Oregon birth certificates are not available to the general public through the State Archives for 100 years. The nice thing about delayed birth certificates is that they are available 100 years after the person's birth not 100 years after they were filed. Sometimes delayed birth certificates were filed as part of the process of proving a person's age in applying for Social Security. Check not only for the certificate but also for the "evidence" that was filed. It may have been a sibling or other relative attesting to the person's age.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
