Below is a partial list of documents or records available that may be used to verify an individual’s age:

• Birth Certificate:

• Certified copy or electronic interface from Vital Records
• Uncertified copy of the ‘Certificate of Live Birth’ (yellow copy )‘Souvenir’
• Copy if signed by both the attending physician and president/administrator of the hospital.

• Baptismal certificate or church record
• Confirmation papers
• Adoption record
• Passport
• Driver’s license
• Hospital records
• School records
• Immigration or Naturalization Record
• Alien Registration Card

Note: Due to a change in law effective July 1, 2010, all Puerto Rican birth certificates issued prior to July 1, 2010, are invalid. Only birth certificates from Puerto Rico that are issued (or reissued) on or after July 1, 2010, are acceptable.

 

Ultimately, responsibility to provide necessary verifications lies with the caretaker.
